Painting With Natural Colors - Linen Color and Special Paints with Fire Protection

1. Painting With Natural Colors - Linen Color and Special Paints with Fire Protection Flax colony can be used very versatile. At first the linseed oil serves as a natural protection for the wood, but you can also saturate metal next to wood. Due to the wide selection of colors, it can be used to embellish your walls, plaster, masonry, stucco or terracotta. The use of linens Linseed oil paint is made of flax seeds of flax obtained from mature seeds. The color can consist of two differently obtained linseed oils. On the one hand there is the raw, cold-pressed linseed oil, which penetrates deeply into the wood and disguises the pores of the wood. The linseed oil is then added to an insoluble compound and can therefore be used well outdoors for priming. You can use this linen color to paint the furniture, the floors and the beams. The linseed oil dries very quickly and has a strong luster. When is the painting of linseed oil suitable? The best temperature for processing the linen color is between 15 and 25 degrees. The direct irradiation of the sun should be avoided while you brush the material and dry it. The base coat can also be carried out at very low temperatures, as the linen color does not contain any water which might freeze.

2. When editing the color pot should have room temperature and the backing should be dry. The-down with linseed oil into contact cloth, papers or brushes should be soaked in water after use and then adapted for drying flat outdoors. If this does not happen, these substances can ignite themselves. The benefits of linens The oil of color penetrates deep into the wood and cannot work so much. Accordingly, little or no cracks occur in the treated wood. This means you do not need to sand the treated wood for 5 to 10 years. The downside of the linseed is, however, that it has a long drying time. After one or two days the color is completely dried and you can make the next coat. More natural colors include lime paints or traditional casein, which is, however, not suitable for outdoor use or wet rooms. Special paints with fire protection Fire protection paint is a fire retardant, which forms an insulating layer of foam and thus makes material hardly flammable. This heat-resistant paint is water- based dispersion paint. It should in principle only be processed by experts. Fire protection paint - composition & application areas Fire color is halogen and chlorine-free, also is special paint free of heavy metals. However, it contains volatile organic compounds (VOC) and is classified into water hazard class 1. It is slightly hazardous to water and must be disposed of with special waste. It contains mainly phosphate compounds and melamine, a carbon donor (e.g. alcohol) and various additives. Fire protection paints are available for wood and wood materials, steel and concrete. Even for cables, there is special heat-resistant paint. In the case of concrete, heating and chipping are prevented by the heat-resistant paint and secondary damage is avoided. In the case of steel, the fire protection color protects against corrosion, the heating is also prevented and thus the yielding of the steel construction. In the case of cables, the fire protection color delays or prevents a cable burn, there is no secondary fire with plastic cables. The cable sheath becomes hardly flammable and releases hardly any highly toxic or toxic gases.

3. Areas where the fire protection paint is used - Avoid wetness Fire protection paint is mainly used indoors in dry rooms. Wood requires a minimum of 12mm thickness, and is not exposed to mechanical stress, that means it is suitable for trusses, as well as panels of ceiling or wall color. Since the heat-resistant paint is applied to steel over the entire profile and does not load statically, the fire-protection paint is also suitable for highly-structured steel components. The fire protection paint is often used in public buildings like schools, more rarely in private buildings. It is necessary if the building authorities call for fire protection class B1. Should not be used, the fire color in areas of high humidity or even wet - here should rather special damp proof paint used. Heat resistant paint should be processed by professional! The fire protection paint should only be processed at temperatures above 5 ° C and preferably only by a specialist. The surface should be clean, dry and free from grease and no wax coat or old coats. A priming of the surface to be machined is useful. After applying the heat-resistant paint, a coating varnish should be applied. This is transparent, but can also be used in other colors. If fire protection paint is to be used, it should be approved. Protective gloves should be used for processing. The limited use is disadvantageous; it should not be used with heavily used components such as doors or floors.
