Concrete protection using acrylic latex paints: Effect of the pigment volume content on water permeability
Abstract Concrete can be protected by coatings, which may reduce the ingress of aggressive agents coming from external sources. Paints have a great importance on concrete durability due to the advantage of being applied to both newly built and old structures, the latter being for maintenance and repair purposes. Five acrylic latex paint formulations were prepared in laboratory. Their relative performance in inhibiting the ingress of water and their drying behavior were evaluated on concrete substrates. The relative absorption and loss of water over a length of time were determined on medium and high porosity concretes. The results showed a correlation between the paint pigment volume content and water permeability. The viability of using acrylic resin in architectural paint formulations for concrete protection against water penetration was confirmed.
