Wall finish is the top coat. That is also latex trim paint. The basic ingredients of latex trim paint are resin emulsion, pigments, fillers, and additives. Goodware PU moldings have the interface paint on the surface.

Key points of buying the latex trim paint
Price is never the first consideration! Remember three key points: environmental indicators, lifespan, and quality judgment.
-
Environmental indicators
There are three environmental indicators of latex trim paint: TVOC, free formaldehyde, and heavy metals. TVOC means Total Volatile Organic Compound. TVOC and paint film have the close connection. If the TVOC content is low, the paint film will not be stable. Easy to be powdered and peeled. It is released in a large amount during the drying of the paint, after that, there is a trace of slow distribution in our daily life. The free formaldehyde and heavy metals are also important. Because they are not easy to volatilize and have long release period, you have to check the test report before buying.
-
Lifespan
The lifespan of latex trim paint mainly depends on the composition of the emulsion. The best is the pure acrylic emulsion. The lifespan of this emulsion is more than 20 years. On the other hand, it is the high price. The second-class paint ingredients are vinegar acrylic emulsion and ethylene copolymer emulsion. Their lifespans are 10 years. If you want to decorate once, choose the first paint. On the contrary, choose the second paint, you may need to redecorate after 10 years.

Quality judgment
Besides the environmental issues and colors, there is a key point, the effect of the paint film. This is also a direct response to the quality of latex trim paint. There are two tips for the selection of latex trim paint:
- Paint elasticity: The better elasticity can prevent the cracks after painting the PU moldings.
- Paint film mold proof: PU moldings are waterproof. Because of the bad quality and humid weather, the PU moldings will become moldy. If you need to install the PU moldings in a high humid area, you should choose the high-quality
As a result, if the wall has been painted and it is flat, then you can install the PU moldings. Goodware reminds you that choose a suitable latex trim paint to make the colorful wall. In addition, if the surface of the PU moldings has done the color processing, such as painting, gold outline, or foil, you should finish the latex trim paint, then install the PU moldings.
