Binders provide adhesion and resistance to cracking, blistering and peeling. Latex paints use 100% acrylic, styrene-acrylic, or vinyl acrylic as a binder, while oil based based typically contain modified oils called alkyds like linseed oil and soya oil. The type, quality and quantity of binder affect everything including stain resistance, gloss, adhesion and crack resistance. Higher quality binders adhere to surfaces better and provide longer lasting performance.
“When we launched Gennex, we were the first company in the U.S. to introduce a zero-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) waterborne tinting system. The innovation of Gennex enables our zero-VOC paints to remain zero-VOC even after being tinted with Gennex colorants, an impossibility with generic, all-purpose colorant.
