General information about yacht varnish

The first thing that should be understood, any yacht varnish is designed to process the external and internal corps of sea and river wooden vessels. In its production, the main emphasis is on durability and strength. To achieve the maximum possible results, manufacturers use fairly toxic chemical elements. We are talking about Toluole and Xilole.

1. Toluol belongs to a group of strongly volatile benzene compounds. This means that the chemical composition includes carbon and hydrogen. This type of connection is easily mixed with air and absorbed by a person. As a result, dizziness, irritation of all mucous membranes up to the edema of the lungs appears. Toluol's danger is that the substance evaporates quite slowly, but in the amount of human health dangerous.

2. Xille is a more complex benzene that has an even greater negative effect on a person. The pairs of xylol penetrate not only through the respiratory system, but also directly through the skin. Csilol poisoning is much more complicated than Toluol. With constant exposure to the substance, nervous disorders occur and diseases associated with the action of the glands of internal secretion are activated. The worst consequences are cancer.

It doesn’t matter poorly or good yacht varnish, still there will be dangerous chemistry. This circumstance clearly indicates that the use of material indoors is strictly not recommended.

On the other hand, all the benzene is much lighter than air, interacting with it in the open space, the substances quickly rise upstairs and do not pose absolutely no danger. The use of yacht varnishes on the street is allowed, and still it should be remembered that the substance was specially designed for boats, wooden ships and yachts.

Types of yacht varnishes

The division of varnishes into matte and glossy is very conditional. Matte surfaces do not shine, smoke less and hide dust. Glossy varnishes create a beautiful glow effect under the influence of natural or artificial lighting. The choice of a particular type is a person’s business personally.

The technology according to which the varnish-beautiful coating is made is much more important. Distinguish:

• Alkyd varnishes,
• Uretan-alkid varnishes,
• Alkid-uretan varnishes,
• Acrylate varnishes.

1. Alkyd varnishes are quite popular. For their manufacture, organic solvents are used. The most common White Spirit. Although the alcohol yacht varnish is the cheapest, its use for the home is not allowed. When drying, the solvent vapors begin to evaporate, then toluene and xylol evaporate. After one and a half or two years, less volatile compounds begin to be released. The service life of alkyd varnishes at the average load is 4-5 years, and all this time they release a huge number of chemicals into the atmosphere.

2. Yacht lacquer for the floor, the manufacturing technology of which was specially designed for the use of indoors, it is uretan-alkidal. In the manufacture, organic solvents are also used, but in much smaller quantities. In addition, uretany plasticizers prevent a strong evaporation of chemicals. From a practical point of view, the predominance of urethic elements provides coating with flexibility and resistance to temperature changes. If a warm floor system is installed in the house, then only uoretan-alkidal varnish is allowed, as everyone else cracked.

3. In alkyd-uretan varnishes, as can be seen from the name, alkids prevail. Such a chemical composition provides a high -quality coating that is quite resistant to temperature extremes, as well as the highest rate of drying of varnish. The last property is achieved by adding especially volatile solvents, the evaporation rate of which is several times higher than that of standard white spirit. As a result - superxicity.

4. yacht varnish for the floor, the price of which is the highest, acrylate. The pricing procedure is associated with the method of production. All acrylate varnishes are water -soluble, therefore, toxicity is reduced to a minimum. In fact, these varnishes are not yacht, since it is impossible to cover the outer part of the corps of wooden vessels, but some manufacturers mark their products in this way as a marketing course. Ideally, it is better to use acrylate varnishes indoors.

Yacht varnishes

If the decision to use the yacht varnish is due to the cheapness of the material, you should buy a manufacturer who tried to minimize the harm to health.

1. Marshall, Akzo Nobel. Marshall varnishes are produced in Turkey, but the Akzo Nobel concern is international. The main office is located in Amsterdam, and representative offices in more than eighty countries. This indicates the highest quality of products. In favor of this brand, its own state of chemists also acts, which open up new opportunities for standard materials. The main lineup:

• LAKE YALL MARSHALL PROTEX YAT VERNIK, price 800 rubles. per 2.5 l;
• Glossy yacht glossy Marshall Protex Yat Vernik, price 680 rub. for 2.5 liters.

2. Belinka - a Slovenian plant with a sixty -year history. In favor of this brand, at least the fact that this is one of the few industries that survived the decay of Yugoslavia says. Another argument is the optimal price -quality ratio. The lineup:

• LAKE OF MATTE BELINKA YACHT, price 1200 rubles. for 2.7 l;
• Lacques Minomatic Belinka Yacht, price 1100 rub. for 2.7 l;
• Glossy yacht glossy belinka yacht, price 1050 rub. for 2.7 l.

3. Poli -R is a domestic brand that offered a compromise between inexpensive products and real quality. The company is engaged in the supply of paints and varnishes made in Europe under its own brands. Although production is by large account, the requirements and standards of the European Union are complied with, which makes the goods competitive. The lineup:

• LAKE YASHNOW HOME POLI-R, price 1200 rubles. per 2.5 l;
• Glossy lacquer Paul-r, price 1000 rubles. for 2.5 liters.

4. Novytkhim is one of the first large domestic chemical enterprises. The beginning of activity falls on 1994. Since then, the products of the St. Petersburg plant have become known and popular throughout the post -Soviet space. Among yacht varnishes are represented:

• The chief technologist is half a mat, the price is 800 rubles. for 3 l;
• The chief technologist is glossy, the price is 750 rubles. for 3 l.

5. Prestige is a company that has appeared relatively recently. The opening of the plant took place in 1998. The company's management set the main task to create the highest quality products at an affordable price. Among all domestic companies, the palm of the championship should be given to prestige. Among the yacht varnishes, products are presented:

• Prestige matte, price 440 rubles. per 1.9 l;
• Prestige glossy, price 370 rubles. per 1.9 l.

Important: the indicated price is relevant for the southern regions of Russia, Moscow and the region. It is due to the fact that production is located in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, respectively, the costs of logistics are minimal. For other areas, the price will be higher.

6. Rogneda has been working in the market for more than 20 years. Initially, the company was engaged in the production of fire retardants, but soon expanded the assortment and registered several new brands, including Woodmaster, Aquatex, Dali, Eurotex. To date, the manufacturer seeks to increase sales, which negatively affects quality. Rogery varnishes are well suited for external work or use in the country. The lineup:

• Evrotx half -materials, price 610 rubles. for 2 l;
• Evrotx glossy, price 580 rubles. for 2 l.

The use of yacht varnish

In addition to the standard, yacht varnish is widely used to carry out household repair. Main directions:

• Furniture processing,
• floors processing,
• processing of frame houses,
• Lining processing.

1. In terms of furniture, we are only talking about street tables, stools and benches. In extreme cases, a tool for a tool. In no case should you treat the nightstands with yacht varnish in which products are stored. Another contraindication is aesthetic. Like any other varnish, yacht should be applied to at least 2-3 layers. Since the composition of such a varnish differs from the furniture, each layer is quite thick. As a result, the furniture does not look aesthetically pleasing. The use of matte varnish slightly brightens the thickness of the layers.

2. Yacht lacquer for the floor, reviews about which they praise the economy and quality of the coating, in practice not so good. Naturally, we are talking about the evaporation of chemicals. At first, their negative impact is not observed, but after two to three months chronic fatigue, nervous tension and, even depression, appears. Children react especially acutely to Toluol. If you understand the issue in more detail and carefully study the Internet forums, it will become obvious that it is impossible to use yacht varnish for internal work.

3. The processing of frame houses is one of the few, really appropriate solutions to the use of yacht varnish in everyday life. This varnish creates an uniform, durable coating resistant to an aggressive external environment. As a result, there is no need to buy various additional impregnations and antiseptic.

4. The carriage of the lining should be understood as the application of varnish on the facade, which is decorated with natural lining. As in the case of frame houses, such a coating is more than enough to protect the tree for the next 4-5 years.

Summing up, it should be said that any building material should be used for its intended purpose. If the varnish is called yachtenic, then the main area of \u200b\u200bits use is the processing of the outer part of the body of wooden vessels. The use of the material is not for the purpose of the purpose at its own peril and risk. Manufacturers do not hide the composition of the substance, so any complaints from the buyer will not be successful and will have to restore health at their own expense.
