2. EMULSION PAINT
➢ Emulsion is water-based paint,
with vinyl or acrylic resins
added to make the finish
hardwearing.
➢ This results in varying degrees
of sheen – generally, the
shinier the finish, the tougher
the paint.

3. Ingredients of Emulsion Paint:
▪ Base – Titanium oxide, or zinc oxide, or iron oxide
Note: The choice of base in paint fully depends
upon the colour of the paint.
▪ Coloring Pigment – Calcium carbonate powder
▪ Inert Filler or Extender – Calcium carbonate powder, or
Calcined kaolin clay
▪ Vehicle or Binder or Resin – Alkyd resins, or acrylic resin, or
epoxy
▪ Solvent or Thinner – Water or white spirit
▪ Additive – Calgon as dispersing agent

6. Matt Emulsion
➢ A matt paint tends to diffuse light rather than
reflect it.
➢ As a result, it’s great for hiding imperfections such
as small bumps and cracks on the wall.
➢ It also provides a great depth of color.
➢ Matt finishes are not always durable: sponge off
small marks, may wear away the finish, leaving a
patchy effect.
➢ Steer clear of matt finishes in super-busy areas
such as the hall because the walls are likely to need
a lot of wiping - ceilings and medium-traffic rooms
such as living rooms, dining rooms or adult
bedrooms.

7. Silk and Satin Emulsion
➢ Silk and satin are often described as
mid-sheen finishes because of the
slightly polished surface they produce.
➢ Silk is for walls while Satin is used for
woodwork.
➢ Silk wall finish - it’s easy to wipe, which
makes it a practical solution for
anywhere that gets grubby (hallways,
staircases and children’s bedrooms).
➢ It’s shiny and reflects lots of light, it is
best avoided if you have less-than-
perfect walls because imperfections may
show up.
