These paintings are less susceptible to staining and easy cleaning, in addition to their low permeability. These characteristics make them one of the best ways to paint the walls.

How are these paintings formed?
In their joint manufacturing combines acrylic resin used in conventional paints and ceramic microspheres. Common paints used quartz sand or other materials as solid components, these peaks have favored the adhesion of dust particles and fungi growth if there is moisture, instead of ceramic microspheres do not allow for its adherence morphology.

Characteristics of micro spheres
Actually these micro spheres are microscopic and before the paint is added in the appearance of powder. As mentioned above in conventional paints are used as additives that are traps which houses the dirt by rubbing. With the microscopic spheres that originates surface of reinforced acrylic resin is much smoother.

In art a veneer is often used very bright, with a similar manufacturing process, where glass particles are added to obtain optimum brightness.

In our work, DIY and home painting usually use products that are harmful to the environment when disposed improperly. We have some points to consider before, during and after the use of paints and thinners. WWF Campaign “over 90% of water consumed by the world’s population is groundwater.

Before painting
To keep leftover paint waste should calculate the amount, without having to discard remains unnecessarily. Or else, save properly on what to use on another occasion. Generally water-based paints are more convenient, contain less hazardous chemicals, and polluting solvents are not used during handling or washing of tools. Where possible avoid paints containing lead, mercury or tributyl tin. These are considered hazardous wastes should be disposed of responsibly.

During the painting
Avoid washing continuously working tools, not to throw too much water into drains or sewers. If you continue with the task of paint brushes and rollers can be stored in a plastic bag or soaked in thinner, to keep them moist and in a position for a few hours.

After painting
The latex paints or plastic can be disposed in the garbage as long as they are dry. For this it is possible to accelerate the drying time exposed to the sun uncovered or mix it with sand. The oil paintings, or the contents of metals mentioned above, should be taken to a hazardous waste center. One of the best alternative is to donate.
