Properties of Synthetic Paint

Synthetic paints are durable and long-lasting. After drying, they form a smooth and glossy surface. Once hardened, they protect the surface against external factors. They are also resistant to scratching, moisture, and impact.

Where Is It Used?

Synthetic paints can be used both indoors and outdoors. They can be applied to various surfaces such as wood, metal, concrete, and plaster. They are especially preferred for doors, windows, railings, furniture, radiators, and machinery.

How Is It Applied?

Before application, the surface must be cleaned, sanded, and primed. Synthetic paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray gun. Its consistency is usually adjusted with synthetic thinner. After application, a specific drying time must be allowed for complete curing.
