Odorless paint - eco-friendly and high-quality types of paints from the best manufacturers! Odorless quick-drying interior paint Odorless black matte metal paint.

Repair work cannot be carried out without the use of paintwork materials. There are smells inside the room. They are not always harmless. But today in the market building materials you can pick up, so that the paint is odorless and dries in a short period of time.

Odorless KM of modern production

In fact, there are no coatings without smell. Dyes can be neutral or slightly expressed. It does not irritate mucous membranes. Today it is quite possible to choose such a dye for coloring inside the house.

The construction market offers paint for internal works odorless, developed on the basis of modern technologies:

• Among other materials, acrylic compositions and varnishes on water are more popular. Their important advantage is the inability to harm health while working with them.
• KM water-based (like acrylic) - water-dispersion composition. They paint the walls. Not suitable for flooring.
• A group of polyurethane and oil paints. Although not all varieties of the group are used, their area of ​​\u200b\u200buse is very extensive.

Water-based coatings outperform organic-based formulations in terms of drying speed, since the water-soluble base quickly evaporates from a freshly applied layer. At the same temperature index of +7 ° C, KM on water dries 3 times faster than the dye on organic matter.

Nitro paints (alcohol-acetone base) dry the fastest. But this species has a pungent smell. Inhalation of its vapors leads to health problems.

Method for determining the concentration of odor

Most often, when buying paintwork materials, the words of the seller about the absence of smell from the dye are taken as the truth. At the time of purchase, no one checks the coloring product for the strength of the smell. When the surface is painted with the material, it turns out that even from acrylic dye it is. There is just no pungent smell.

Quick-drying paint emits at least a barely perceptible smell. When evaporating, organic molecules or bases on water take part of the binder with them. This simply explains the presence of sensations in the mucous from paint on water or on a hydrocarbon basis.

For each person, irritation from the smell and getting used to it takes place in different ways. It depends on the threshold of sensitivity, how quickly a person gets used to a chemical stimulus. There comes a time when volatile substances are not perceived.

After working with paintwork materials, painters are thoroughly washed open areas body, to wash off with soap the molecules and microparticles of the dye, solvent vapors that settle on the skin.

Professionals use a method that allows you to pre-determine the strength of irritation from LMB. Without solvent and diluent, a small proportion of the material is applied to glazed ceramics, which are preheated to 50°C or 60°C.

At this point, rapid evaporation of the organic or aqueous base begins. The evaporation process produces a real smell. It often happens that popular acrylics smell unpleasant during the experiment.

Criteria for choosing an odorless paint

It is difficult to find a universal KM that could perform any kind of repair work. More often, dyes are developed to cover the floor or walls (to solve a specific problem). When LMB is selected, the purpose of use is given priority:

• The priority may be resistance to humidity, to the effects of UV rays from the sun, to high temperatures.
• The desire to have a glossy or matte surface.
• The indicator of abrasion and resistance to mechanical stress is important.

It is not possible to find a CM that fully meets all the points of wishes. For example, paint that does not smell and dries quickly may have low level wear resistance. And vice versa, the best way for floor covering- polyurethane mixture with 2 components. This is a wear-resistant material, dries in 2 hours, but with a pungent odor. It is necessary to decide in advance on what task the choice of LMB is directed.

Acrylic KM

Acrylic quick-drying paints are in demand when performing most work inside housing construction. They paint wood, plastic, metal. Odorless Acrylic Wood Paint does not cover beech, poplar due to their ability to absorb moisture quickly. The wood deforms, swells, and the paintwork layer looks uneven after drying. The same situation occurs with plaster coating.

Acrylic enamel is recognized as the best dye for radiators of the heating system.

• odorless quick-drying paint brand Tikkurila Miranol from Finland;
• product Termoaquaemal, manufacturer JOBI from Germany.

Among the Russian brands stands out:

• D-220;
• Livna-134;
• high-quality coating of the radiator is provided by quick-drying, non-stinking paint VD AK1179, from the VGT manufacturer.

Enamels are applied to the clean surface of the radiator. A layer of paint dries in a maximum of 5 hours.

Parade's fast-drying acrylic composition has proven itself as a dye that is applied to a working radiator if its surface does not heat up above 45 ° C. But such a coating is a slight irritant to the sense of smell, it smells of chemicals.

The enamel for the radiator is selected taking into account the alphanumeric designations on the bank, which indicate its maximum temperature heating index. Most paints withstand battery heating up to 120 ° C. But there is a coloring material that is rated for a maximum of 70 ° C.

The radiator, painted with a quick-drying acrylic compound, is covered with:

• snow-white color layer;
• glossy surface for easy cleaning. Dried acrylic enamel feels like plastic to the touch.

Acrylic enamel reduces the heat transfer of the radiator, since a layer of polymer composition increases on its surface.

The use of latex formulations

If you look for what kind of paint dries quickly and does not smell when heated, then the result of the search will be latex dye on water. It, like acrylic, is used for work inside the building. Its big plus is good adhesion to the surface of warm or cold batteries. The paint layer does not peel off.

Hardboard and OSB floors are covered with an odorless latex flooring compound. The dye dries faster than others. The time interval from coating to drying is 60 minutes (condition: temperature +18 ° C).

Polyurethane dye

Polyurethane composition coatings are characterized by a high wear resistance, excellent adhesion. Varnishes of this group in resistance exceed acrylic material. In addition, this coating does not smell. Expensive wooden floors (type-setting parquet, oak floors, mosaics) are covered with epoxy KM or polyurethane paints and varnish.

Recently, when decorating rooms, preference has increasingly been given to various coloring compositions. Walls and floors treated with paintwork materials have a good aesthetic appearance, moreover, this way you can significantly reduce the cost of repairs and subsequent cleaning in the house.

For interior decoration - painting walls, floors, radiators and other elements, as a rule, quick-drying paints are used. The drying rate will be influenced by factors such as humidity, air temperature and air circulation, but primarily will depend on the composition. What quick-drying paints deserve attention, for what kind of work they are used and what offers are considered the best today, the rating of quick-drying paints in 2018, compiled according to user and builder reviews, will help you figure it out.

Odorless enamel is a great choice for finishing works indoors. Painting ceilings and walls is an important part of home renovation. That is why it is advisable to use only harmless materials which dry quickly and do not have an unpleasant odor. It is noteworthy that modern technologies make it possible to obtain completely safe paints that are easy to use.

Types of odorless paints

At first glance, odorless indoor paint is available in many hardware stores, making it easy to find. However, when choosing the composition of the solution, it is necessary to take into account the type of surface. There are several types of harmless paints and varnishes:

• Acrylic.
• Water-dispersion.
• Latex.

Each material has its own characteristics. Paints are often used, which are an aqueous emulsion. In this case, the binders for the manufacture of an odorless emulsion can be different:

• Polysiloxane.
• Polyvinyl acetate.
• A mixture of polymers.

To date, the most popular type is odorless acrylic paint. It is intended for use on any surfaces, not only indoors, but also outside (painting plastic, iron, walls). Many use it to paint heating radiators.

Important! For the treatment of wooden surfaces, latex-based emulsions are most appropriate. They penetrate the structure of the tree, creating a waterproof film on the surface.

Water dispersion

An excellent option for processing the premises (ceilings and walls) will be water-dispersion enamel. It is based on water, which is why it is a completely safe material. Enamels consist of a dispersion - these are separate harmless elements that dissolve in water.

Important! The advantages of this paintwork are the complete absence of a characteristic smell, high drying speed and the final result (looks great on any surface).

Such a solution is characterized by its water-repellent effect, which makes it possible to further wash off dirt from the painted floor or wall, without fear of damaging them. Due to the absolute safety of the components used, the water-dispersion mixture is suitable for repair work in children's rooms, schools and kindergartens.

This material does not provide a wide choice of colors - basically it has White color, which is subsequently diluted with the help of special pigment additives, they give the desired shade. As a result, a completely safe, odorless enamel, which is suitable for indoor use, hits the store counter.

Important! It is noteworthy that water-dispersion varieties of paints are characterized by light shades that delight the eye.

However, it is worth noting that such a water-based substance should not be used for wood and metal surfaces.

Acrylic

When choosing a paint that does not smell and dries quickly, you should pay attention to acrylic. It is often used both in everyday life and in construction. Acrylic composition has many advantages, where the most important are the following:

• Fast drying.
• Lack of smell.
• Absolute security.

Acrylic paint is very resistant to moisture - it can be used on floors and walls. This composition contains additional additives that retain color and structure when exposed to environment. That is why acrylic paint is often used for painting windows.

The choice of colors for such paints is quite wide. They are very often used in decoration. It should be noted that oil paint can be considered a good paint for such purposes, however, unlike it, acrylic is easier to use. It lays evenly on the surface, over time, cracks do not appear on it.

Important! The cost of this type of paint is higher. This is due to the relatively high operational properties, which, however, compensate for the price.

Latex

Latex paint is one of the types of water-dispersion dyes. Here, latex acts as a dispersion, while such paints have their own set of advantages:

• They do not have an unpleasant odor.
• Are not toxic.
• Actively used for indoor work.

Another important quality is that odorless latex enamel has excellent wear resistance. That is why it is often used for painting ceilings and any walls (brick, plastered).

Important! The best solution would be to use this product for painting rooms in which there is always elevated level humidity (bathrooms, kitchens). These paints create a washing surface.

In addition, this paint does not have the ability to dry out or swell. It can be quite characterized as quick-drying - it takes about 20 minutes for this composition to dry, and about an hour for the painted surface to dry completely. The complete absence of any smell makes this type of paint the most preferable.

Alkyd

Those who have used alkyd paints for indoor work can say with confidence that there is no alkyd paint that is completely odorless. But this is not entirely true, since there is odorless enamel. different types there are a lot of alkyd compounds. Such paints and varnishes have a large list of positive properties:

• Versatility.
• Abrasion resistance.
• The brightness of the proposed shades.

Important! Odorless alkyd paint is used for indoor work. It can be matte, semi-matte or glossy, which makes its scope very wide.

Finishing work

Before purchasing paint, it is important to accurately determine the type of repair work. The bottom line is that for each of the surfaces you will need different material(paint on wood, metal). When performing some work, a certain type of paint and varnish products may not be suitable. As a rule, such products are used for work in living rooms:

• Floor painting.
• Painting the ceiling and walls.
• Restoration of heating radiators.
• Window painting

Important! Any surface differs in structure and conditions of daily operation (high humidity, temperature). Therefore, during the construction process, it is very important to choose the right desired view material, as well as tools for work.

footage

Home distinctive feature most paints is the presence of an unpleasant, difficult to remove odor. As a result, after the work is done, you may experience headache, and it becomes simply impossible to use the room for some time. That is why odorless enamel, which today is made by different manufacturers and on different bases, is best solution for painting works indoors.

There is no such repair that would do without the use of paints and varnishes. With the start of repair work, numerous smells burst into the house, among which evaporation from drying paint is clearly not the most pleasant. Most of us would rather not breathe the hazardous fumes and use safer materials whenever possible. If you set a goal, you can find a suitable option, for example, to have an odorless and quick-drying floor paint.

Modern materials for interior work

Is there an odorless interior paint. To be precise, there are no odorless paints and varnishes in nature, there are weakly smelling or with a neutral odor that does not cause irritation of the mucous membrane, which means that after a short period of time they simply cease to feel it. There are plenty of such materials, you just need to choose the right specific paint for housework.

Among commercially available paints for domestic purposes, almost odorless:

• Acrylic paints and varnishes. Some of the most popular paints and varnishes among the people are made on a water basis, and therefore have a reputation as the most harmless to the human body;
• Water-dispersion materials. The structure resembles acrylic compositions, they are also made on a water basis, but are only suitable for certain types of work, for example, for painting walls;
• Separate grades of polyurethane and oil paints. The most complex group of materials in terms of composition, but the range of use of polyurethane and modified oil materials is very large.

For your information! The water-soluble base quickly evaporates from the applied paint layer. The drying process of such paints at temperatures up to 7 ° C occurs twice as fast as that of materials based on organic solvents.

The exception is nitro paints, in which the alcohol-acetone base can dry almost on a brush, but such a material always has a very sharp and strong smell. In addition, inhalation of nitro paint thinner fumes can lead to toxic poisoning.

How to determine if there is an odor or not

All paints have a smell, even water-soluble acrylic and water-dispersion. Usually the issue of the smell of paint when buying a material is not checked, if the seller says that acrylic paint is odorless, then it is so. Then, when applying the coating, it turns out that the smell is still present. Not as bad, but the smell is there. It would be surprising if the quick-drying material had no smell.

Molecules of an aqueous or organic base paint will always capture some of the binder when evaporating, so no matter what paint is water based or hydrocarbon based, it will always smell. Professional painters know that after staining, even if the paint does not get on the skin of the hands, the exposed parts of the body - the face and hands, must be thoroughly washed with soap, and thereby remove the molecules and microparticles of the paint that have fallen on the skin along with solvent vapors.

Another thing is that each person has his own threshold of sensitivity to smell, with a corresponding addiction to a chemical irritant, after which even the sharpest and most volatile substances are practically not perceived.

Advice! You can determine how unpleasant the smell of what you bought can be paintwork material. It is necessary to apply a small amount of the mixture without solvent and diluent on glazed ceramic tiles heated to 50-60 ° C.

The rapid evaporation of an aqueous or organic base will immediately reveal what the actual smell of the paint is. In practice, the most popular acrylic paints smell rather unpleasant during the test.

What quick-drying, odorless paints to choose for repairs

Few paints can claim to be a universal material suitable for any repair work, most varieties and groups of paints are produced for specific purposes, for example, for flooring or for painting walls. Therefore, when choosing a brand of paint, you should first of all pay attention to the purposes for which it is intended:

1. The resistance of the paintwork to moisture, heat and sunlight;
2. The presence of gloss on the dried surface of the paint;
3. Ability to resist abrasion and contact pressure.

Not always possible to pick best coverage for the floor so that the material dries quickly, has a high resistance to abrasion and at the same time is odorless. For instance, best paint for the floor is made on the basis of a two-component polyurethane mixture. But such material has a specific smell, although it dries quickly enough, in just a couple of hours.

Acrylic paints and varnishes

Quick-drying acrylic resin-based compounds can be used for most interior work, painting any wood, plastic, metal surfaces. An exception may be gypsum and wooden surfaces from a beech, a poplar, very quickly absorbing moisture. After painting, the surface of the wood quickly swells, and after drying, the texture of the applied paint layer becomes uneven, dotted with small dots.

If the repair requires odorless paint for heating radiators, then acrylic enamel fit better Total. Among the wide range of domestic and foreign paint materials, the most popular are quick-drying acrylic enamels from the Finnish production Tikkurila Miranol and the German company JOBI under the name Termoaquaemal.

From domestic products, you can use D-220 and Livna-134. The high quality of the coating is distinguished by the quick-drying odorless paint for radiators under the index VD AK1179 of the VGT company.

After applying acrylic enamel on a cleaned base of a radiator or battery, the layer dries out in 4-5 hours. Some quick-drying acrylic compounds, such as Parade, can be applied to the surface of a working warm battery, provided that the temperature of the metal does not exceed 40-45 ° C. But in this case, a slight chemical smell may appear.

When choosing enamel, you should pay attention to the alphanumeric designation maximum temperature radiator heating. Most of the materials can withstand heating up to 120 o C, but there are more moderate indicators, up to 60 and 70 o C.

Quick-drying acrylic battery paints after drying give good quality coatings:

• A high degree of whiteness, which is important for heating radiators, to which house and street dust sticks the most, due to which the white case turns gray over time;
• The glossy surface makes it easy to clean, the acrylic enamel coating feels very similar to plastic to the touch.

Important! The disadvantages of acrylate enamel include the deterioration of heat transfer due to the increased polymer layer on the surface of the radiator.

In addition to purely acrylic compositions, latex compositions, which are also water-based, are used for repairs in an apartment or a private house. The latex composition practically dries odorless even when heated. Unlike most acrylic and acrylate polyurethane compositions, the latex coating practically does not lose adhesion, blister or flake on the hot and cold surface of pipes or radiators.

Odorless latex floor paint is used for painting hardboard, OSB flooring. Such a paint of all odorless materials can be considered the fastest drying, the time for complete drying at a temperature of 18 ° C does not exceed one hour.

Polyurethane and oil paints

Polyurethane paints have excellent abrasion resistance and give the highest adhesion. Polyurethane parquet varnishes an order of magnitude more resistant than acrylic, and give an odorless coating. For expensive parquet typesetting, mosaic or oak floors, epoxy or polyurethane varnishes and paints are used.

One-component, water-based polyurethane formulations dry on prepared wooden floor up to 5 hours. For comparison: alkyd material will dry 8-10 hours, acrylic - 2-4 hours.

There is a certain difference in how the degree of readiness of the coating is determined. Most often, the manufacturer calls the composition for the floor quick-drying, if the interval between applying layers does not exceed 4-5 hours. For example, an excellent varnish - floor paint Belinka Parketin, absolutely odorless, can be called quick-drying, as it dries to touch at room temperature in 3 hours. But the complete polymerization of the layer, in which you can stand on the painted floor without the risk of damaging the coating, ends only after 12 hours, and with a three-layer treatment - after 6-7 days.

Oil paints are prepared on the basis of drying vegetable oils. They dry the longest, up to 40 hours. When diluted with drying oil or a special thinner based on white spirit and turpentine, a specific pleasant smell arises, which almost completely disappears in 4-5 hours. Oil compositions modified with polyurethane dry in 5-6 hours, practically odorless.

Conclusion

The development of the chemistry of varnishes and coloring materials has led to the creation of a whole range of paints that dry faster than latex and do not have any smell at all that a person can catch without protective equipment. At the same time, the drying process is accelerated by special additives, and the drying solvent is replaced by an odorless hardener, as in epoxy resins. In practice, such odorless fast-drying paints turn out to be an order of magnitude more toxic, prone to cumulative accumulation in the body, compared to which acrylic formulations seem simply harmless. Although professional painters painting with acrylic and latex water-based paints using spray guns consider them no less harmful to breath than alkyd compounds or nitro paints.

Odorless paint is presented on the modern market of building and finishing materials in a wide range. The emulsion is a dispersion solution, where latex, acrylic, polysiloxane and polyvinyl acetate components can act as binders.

Due to the absence of solvents in its composition, the paint is odorless, and is also an excellent solution for painting work without restricting the presence of children, allergies and the elderly.

Features and Benefits

Odorless emulsions are very popular among consumers because they are easy to use, convenient to use and have a number of important advantages:

• High color fastness painted surfaces. The paint tolerates intense exposure well. ultraviolet rays maintaining brightness and color saturation throughout the life of the product.

• Anti-slip effect. The paint applied to the metal floor forms a non-slip surface, which reduces the risk of injury, and also increases the safety of the room.
• Fast drying allows you to use the painted surface after 2 hours. This significantly reduces the time of finishing work, allowing you to complete the repair in a short time.
• Environmental safety and hygiene. Due to its composition, odorless paints do not have harmful effects on people and pets.
• High moisture resistance allows the use of emulsions in rooms with high humidity.

• fire safety. The absence of solvents ensures high fire resistance of the emulsion.
• The presence of anti-corrosion additives some types of emulsions can protect the metal surface from the appearance and spread of rust.
• The paint is easy to apply to the metal surface and is well laundered from clothes, hands and tools.
• Wide price range allows you to choose an emulsion at a price that is comfortable for each buyer.

Varieties

Odorless paints for painting metal surfaces are available in a huge assortment. The compositions differ from each other in composition, technical specifications and operating conditions. According to the type of binder, emulsions are of several types.

latex

According to their texture, latex paints are matte, semi-gloss, glossy and super glossy. Matte compositions mask the defects of the base well, and glossy ones require the preparation of a perfectly flat surface. Latex paints are non-toxic, odorless, dry quickly, high performance wear and moisture resistance. The emulsion is available only in white. It is used both with the use of colors and in its pure form.

Acrylic

For painting heating radiators, there is a special acrylic thermal enamel that can withstand high temperatures well, while maintaining its color (without cracking).

Work can be done with hot batteries. In this case, the paint will dry completely within an hour. When painting metal structures in unheated rooms, you must carefully read the product labeling, and then purchase a frost-resistant version.

Oily

This type of enamel is made on the basis of oils, drying oil and color pigments. The material is widely used for painting metal surfaces inside warm and cold rooms.

The paint has high elasticity and coverage, forms a smooth and smooth surface and is of low cost. The disadvantage of oil enamels is a long drying time.

Alkyd

Alkyd paints have high wear resistance, brightness and color saturation, as well as a complete absence of smell and a long service life. The enamel is suitable for painting heating radiators and heated towel rails in the bathroom.

The alkyd surface is not afraid of high humidity and is resistant to chemicals. This allows you to paint tanks for fuel and lubricants and other liquids of chemical origin with such paint.

Similar the mixture is frost-resistant and has an anti-corrosion effect, thanks to which it can be used to paint not only metal structures of internal premises, but also gates, fences and other objects located on the street. The presence of fire retardants significantly reduces the flammability of enamel, and the presence of antiseptics resists the appearance of mold and fungus.

It is necessary to paint metal surfaces at a temperature of 10 to 30 degrees, and air humidity should not exceed 75%. Previously, the surface should be cleaned of dust, degreased and dried. Then it is necessary to apply a primer mixture and wait for it to dry completely.

The use of a primer significantly increases the adhesion of materials and has a moderate leveling effect. It is better to use a special anti-corrosion compound that prevents the formation of rust, and also stops the process of metal destruction in areas already damaged by rust.

Open and easily accessible places are painted with a roller, and hard-to-reach areas with a brush. The use of paint in cylinders is characterized by fast application and high consumption of emulsion, therefore, for painting large areas, for example, garage doors, it is better to use classic staining with a roller and brush.

Manufacturers

The most well-known companies producing odorless paints are:

• English concern "Dulux".
• An enterprise from Germany "Caparol".
• Tikkurila from Finland.

The products of these companies are widely known and are in high demand in the domestic and European markets. From Russian manufacturers company can be identified "Lacra" engaged in the production of paint and varnish products for 20 years. This brand produces high-quality paints at prices much lower than those of famous foreign counterparts.

Good feedback has products of the Leningrad Paints company, which produces emulsions of all kinds, not inferior in quality, appearance and technical characteristics of paints from Europe.

Examples of using

Odorless paints are rapidly conquering the market and are a popular and sought-after material. Not yielding in performance characteristics traditional enamels, they allow you to create interesting color combinations and guarantee complete safety in use.
