QUALITY PAINTING PRODUCTS PART 3------BINDERSThe type, quality and amount of binders affects everything from stain resistance and gloss to adhesion and
crack resistance. Higher quality binders found in higher-quality paints, adhere to surfaces better and provide enhanced
film integrity, making them more resistant to cracking, blistering and peeling.
There are a variety of binders
used today. Latex paints contain either 100% acrylic, styrene-acrylic, or vinyl acrylic binders, while oil paints typically
contain linseed oil, soya oil or modified oils called alkyds.

QUALITY PAINTING PRODUCTS PART 2------PIGMENT
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF PIGMENT
THAT GO INTO A CAN OF PAINT: "Prime" pigments, which provide color and hide; and low-cost "Extender"
pigments, which and bulk to the product, but have little value as it relates to color.
Higher-quality paints contain
more of the all-important, yet more expensive, "Prime" pigments, which in the end give you easier application, better
color retention, and stronger durability.
NEXT MONTH: In our Quality Painting Products Series
we will write about BINDERS

QUALITY PAINTING PRODUCTS INTRODUCTION PART 1 -------------BETTER INGREDIENTS...BETTER PIZZAWe have all heard THAT advertisement on the TV and radio for one
of the popular pizza restaurants. Absolute Paradise Painting has a similar message regarding the quality painting
products that we use.
We are asked all the time is there a difference in paints. Our answer is YES!
Professional painting requires master craftsmen using quality paints. So, what makes a better paint? The answer
is as simple as the pizza commercial...Better Ingredients!
Better Ingredients ... Better Paint.
A high-quality paint starts with high-quality ingredients. This allows the paint to be applied more easily,
look better and last longer. There are four key ingredients that affect the quality of paint and over the
next four weeks we will tell you about the qualities we look for in the paints we use.
So keep checking
back with us. Next time we will discuss the key ingredient, Pigment.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
