What are its properties and what does this paint look like? “Lakover” strives for customers to be are fully aware of the characteristics of our product, so in this article we will talk about the features of the reptile skin-like paint.

Surface formation

A peculiar relief, which looks like cracked earth, is formed due to a specific chemical composition. Before extrusion, special thickeners are added, then melted again and ground back into a loose mass. At the stage of polymerization, this thickening substance causes some areas of the polymer film to solidify earlier — this is how cracks in the paint are formed. No threat these cracks do not occur — the polymer film also remains intact. The method of application is just as simple. The hardening process is also not particularly demanding careful attention

Application

Because this species has special decorative features, it is widely used for furniture, ceramics, doors, doorknobs, decor and many interior and exterior items. To create the effect, you need to apply a thicker layer, so it strengthens the strength of ceramic vessels, for example, pots for indoor plants or vases. In this way, the object will last longer, withstand strong impacts and damage. Glass doors can be protected as well, because the coating does not necessarily have to have a pigment — it is transparent. Of course, the glass will transmit less light, but the effect of privacy will appear.
