Product System

1. Main Components

  • Emulsion: High-quality silicone-acrylic emulsion is used, which has good film-forming properties and weather resistance. It provides excellent adhesion and durability for the product.
  • Pigments and Fillers: These include high-temperature calcined sand and titanium dioxide. The calcined sand, as the main aggregate, has uniformly round and smooth particles, high hardness, and a strong texture. Titanium dioxide provides good opacity and vibrant color.
  • Additives: Various additives are included, such as dispersants, wetting agents, thickeners, and preservatives. These improve the performance and application properties of the product, enhancing its stability and service life.
  • Water: Water acts as the solvent, giving the paint its water-based characteristics, making it easy to apply and clean.

2. Application System

  • Putty Layer: Before application, the wall needs to be treated with a special putty powder, which is applied in 1 to 3 coats. The reference usage is 1.5 to 2.5 kg/m². The putty layer fills in wall imperfections, providing a smooth base for subsequent applications.
  • Primer Layer: The primer layer is a crucial step in the application process. A special penetrating primer is applied by roller, usually in 1 to 2 coats, with a reference usage of 0.2 to 0.3 kg/m². The primer penetrates the wall surface, enhancing adhesion and improving the product’s durability and moisture resistance.
  • Main Material: The main material is the core of the entire product system. It is applied by troweling or spraying, usually in 1 coat, with a reference usage of 2.0 to 3.0 kg/m². The main material provides the wall with a rich texture and pattern effect, which is key to the overall decorative appearance.
  • Topcoat: The topcoat protects the main material, enhancing the product’s durability and self-cleaning properties. It is applied by spraying, usually in 1 coat, with a reference usage of 0.08 to 0.13 kg/m². The topcoat forms a transparent protective film, preventing external contamination and erosion, and making the wall easier to clean.

Construction and Maintenance

1. Construction Conditions

  • Temperature and Humidity: The construction temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C, with relative humidity less than 85%. Avoid construction on rainy, snowy, or low-temperature days. Temperature and humidity have a significant impact on the application effect and drying time of Crystal Stone Artistic Paint. If the temperature is too low or the humidity is too high, the product may not dry properly, affecting the quality of construction.
  • Wall Preparation: Before application, the wall needs to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared to ensure it is flat, dry, free of oil, and dust. If there are cracks, holes, or other defects on the wall, they need to be repaired first. The quality of wall preparation directly affects the application effect and service life of Crystal Stone Artistic Paint.

2. Application Process

  • Putty Layer Application: Use special putty powder for troweling, which is usually applied in 1 to 3 coats. When troweling, apply evenly to avoid bubbles and cracks. Allow the putty to dry before applying the next coat.
  • Primer Layer Application: Use special penetrating primer for rolling, usually applied in 1 to 2 coats. When rolling, apply evenly to avoid missing or piling up. Allow the primer to dry before applying the main material.
  • Main Material Application: The main material application is the most important step in the entire construction process. It can be applied by troweling or spraying. When troweling, apply evenly to avoid uneven thickness; when spraying, apply evenly to avoid color differences and spray patterns. During application, different tools and techniques can be chosen to create different pattern effects.
  • Topcoat Application: The topcoat application is the final step and is performed by spraying. When spraying, apply evenly to avoid missing or piling up. Allow the topcoat to dry before using the wall.

3. Drying Time

  • Surface Dry Time: Under conditions of 25°C temperature and relative humidity less than 80%, the surface dry time is 4 hours. Surface dry time refers to the time it takes for the product surface to form a dry film. During the surface dry time, the product surface is still relatively soft and cannot be subjected to the next construction step.
  • Re-coating Time: The re-coating time is 24 hours. Re-coating time refers to the time it takes for the product surface to form a dry film and be ready for the next construction step. During the re-coating time, the product surface has already gained some hardness and can be subjected to the next step, but it is still relatively fragile and needs protection.
  • Full Dry Time: The full dry time is 48 hours. Full dry time refers to the time it takes for the product to fully cure. During the full dry time, the product has already gained a certain degree of strength and hardness and can be used normally.

4. Storage Conditions

  • Temperature and Humidity: Crystal Stone Artistic Paint should be stored in a dry, cool, and sealed environment with a storage temperature of 5°C to 35°C and relative humidity less than 85%. If the storage temperature is too high or the humidity is too high, the product may deteriorate or clump, affecting its quality and service life.
  • Shelf Life: Under the above storage conditions, the unopened and properly stored product has a shelf life of 12 months. Products beyond the shelf life may experience performance degradation and deterioration, so it is recommended to use the product within the shelf life.

5. Maintenance Methods

  • Daily Cleaning: Crystal Stone Artistic Paint has good self-cleaning properties. Generally, the wall surface can be cleaned with a clean damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. If there are stubborn stains on the wall, a neutral cleaner can be used for wiping, but it is important to avoid using cleaners containing acids, alkalis, or other corrosive substances to prevent damage to the wall.
  • Avoid Impact and Friction: Although Crystal Stone Artistic Paint has high hardness, it is still necessary to avoid strong impact and friction on the wall. In daily life, be careful to avoid furniture, items, and other objects from hitting the wall, and also avoid scratching the wall with sharp objects.
  • Regular Inspection and Maintenance: Regularly inspect the condition of the wall. If cracks, peeling, or other phenomena are found on the wall, timely repair should be carried out to prevent the problem from expanding. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the wall ventilated and dry to prevent the wall from becoming damp and moldy.

Crystal Stone Artistic Paint, with its outstanding environmental performance, rich texture and patterns, strong durability, and easy application, has become a popular choice for modern interior decoration. It not only adds unique artistic charm to various spaces but also creates a healthy, comfortable, and beautiful living and working environment for people.
