Product information
| Product name | Water-based paints (for complete list see the "product description" section) |
|---|---|
| Product identification | Although water-based architectural paints are not generally covered by a harmonised product standard for CE marking purposes, their identification and differentiation can be supported by recognised technical standards and test methods used to describe and classify their main performance characteristics. These standards provide a common framework for determining product properties, preparing technical specifications and selecting the most suitable coating system for a specific application. There is no single “best” paint for all uses: the most appropriate product depends on the substrate, environmental conditions and desired aesthetic result. For interior water-based paints, the main reference standard is EN 13300, which classifies water-borne coating materials and coating systems for interior walls and ceilings. This classification includes characteristics such as gloss, grain size, wet-scrub resistance and contrast ratio/hiding power. Gloss is determined according to EN ISO 2813; wet-scrub resistance, associated with washability and resistance to wet abrasion, is determined according to EN ISO 11998; hiding power/contrast ratio is determined according to ISO 6504-3; and grain size or fineness may be assessed using methods such as ISO 1524, or, for coarser materials, ISO 787-7 and ISO 787-18. For exterior masonry paints, the relevant reference is the EN 1062 series, which provides classification criteria for paints and coatings used on external masonry and concrete surfaces. Exterior coating products may be classified according to binder type, physical state, gloss, dry film thickness, grain size, water vapour permeability, liquid water permeability, crack-bridging ability and carbon dioxide permeability. In particular, water vapour permeability is determined according to EN ISO 7783, while liquid water permeability is determined according to EN 1062-3. Within this technical framework, Valt offers a range of water-based paints with different formulations designed to enhance specific performance characteristics according to the intended application. Some products are formulated to provide higher washability and wet-abrasion resistance, others to promote water vapour permeability and breathability, while others are designed to optimise properties such as hiding power, gloss level, surface appearance, durability, colour stability or protection of external surfaces. In addition, selected products within Valt’s interior paint range are compatible with Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort GOLD standards, a third-party certification scheme for products with low emissions of volatile organic compounds into indoor air. Eurofins describes Indoor Air Comfort GOLD as a certification demonstrating fulfilment of low product emission requirements, including relevant European VOC-related requirements and stricter voluntary specifications used by ecolabels and sustainable building certification schemes. These certified interior paints are therefore further identified by their very low VOC emission performance and are intended to support the selection of coating systems contributing to improved indoor air quality. |
| Product description | Valt product range includes materials with different performance levels. The characteristics of each product may vary depending on the intended use, binder chemistry, required protection level and application conditions. The Valt products that falls under this category are: ISOLANTE ACRILICO, MICROFIX WA, DUE IN UNO, TRE IN UNO, VALTUNIFORM, VALTSAN, BIANCO AIRLESS, KAAR, TRASPIRA, VALTWEISS, COVER MAX, CONTACT, BIANCO CARTONGESSO, CASA CLEAN, MURACRYL, EUROSPECIAL, COVER PLUS, PRIMACRYL, LAVABILE INTERNI, VALTSAN LITE, VALTSAN PLUS, VALTSAN TERMIK, IDROLAC MATT, IDROLAC SATIN, EUROQUARZ, VALTQUARZ, SILACRYL PITTURA, SILOX PITTURA, ELASTOQUARZ, SILIKATO PITTURA, BETON PROTECT For washable paints the key performance requirement is resistance to cleaning and rubbing. High-end products have high wet-scrub resistance, class 1–2, while standard products or products intended for less demanding environments fall into class 3. Breathable interior paints are characterized by their ability to allow water vapour to pass through the paint film. Breathability is expressed by the Sd value: values below 0.14 m indicate high water-vapour permeability, while values below 0.05–0.10 m identify products with very high breathability. Values between 0.14 m and 1.4 m indicate medium permeability. Water-based wall enamels for interiors are formulated to provide a more compact film, higher resistance to cleaning and improved surface durability compared with conventional interior wall paints. For applications subject to frequent washing or maintenance, such as kitchens, bathrooms, corridors, public areas or healthcare premises, high wet-scrub resistance classes are normally expected, typically class 1–2. Uniforming primers and fixatives perform a preparatory function. The required performance characteristics mainly relate to their ability to even out or regulate substrate absorption, improve the adhesion of the finishing coat, consolidate weak or powdery surfaces and reduce the risk of visual unevenness in the final finish. These products are not assessed based on wash resistance, but rather according to their effectiveness within the overall application system. For exterior paints, with particular reference to siloxane and acrylic-siloxane formulations, the main performance requirements concern substrate protection against weathering, reduced liquid-water absorption and maintenance of good water-vapour permeability. These products are designed to combine surface water repellency and breathability, helping to protect façades against driving rain without significantly hindering the release of moisture from the substrate. In performance terms, good-quality siloxane and acrylic-siloxane exterior paints show medium to low liquid-water permeability, corresponding to classes W2–W3, with W3 preferred for products with higher water repellency or for façades particularly exposed to weathering. Water-vapour permeability falls within classes V1–V2. Siloxane paints prioritise breathability and water repellency, making them suitable for mineral substrates, exposed façades and applications where limiting moisture accumulation within the wall is important. Acrylic-siloxane paints combine the water-repellent properties of the siloxane component with the resistance and film-forming capacity of acrylic binders, offering a balance between weather protection, adhesion to the substrate, film durability and water-vapour permeability. Exterior quartz paints are characterized by higher body, the presence of mineral fillers and greater filling capacity compared with smooth paints. Required performance characteristics include good weather resistance, reduced water absorption, adequate water-vapour permeability, controlled particle size and the ability to mask slight substrate irregularities. Depending on formulation and binder type, W2–W3 and V1–V2 performance is achieved. The performance characteristics described above provide a general framework for the product range and must be verified for each product in the relevant technical data sheets and available test reports. |

| Technical purpose of product | The technical function of the product is to create a continuous surface finishing layer on building substrates, providing decoration, coverage, protection and, where applicable according to the specific formulation, improved hygiene of indoor environments. For indoor applications, the product contributes to the aesthetic finish of walls and ceilings, to the coverage of the substrate and, depending on the formulation, to breathability, washability or surface resistance. For outdoor applications, the product is intended to protect and decorate surfaces exposed to weathering, solar radiation, temperature changes and environmental pollutants. The product is intended to be applied on properly prepared building substrates in accordance with the manufacturer's technical instructions and, where necessary, in combination with primers or other substrate preparation products. Tinting through the automated tinting system also allows the required colour shade to be obtained while supporting colour repeatability between batches and future supplies. |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | Valt water-based paints are manufactured internally at the production site in Berbenno di Valtellina, Italy, using an industrial water-based process. The process starts with the management of raw materials, whose procurement is based on a minimum-stock reorder system. The main raw materials used include water, binders or resins, mineral fillers, additives, coalescing agents and pigments. Production planning is based on a combination of market demand and warehouse stock levels. The production system therefore combines make-to-stock manufacturing, to ensure the availability of standard products for the main warehouse and branch warehouses, with make-to-order manufacturing for specific customer requirements or large projects. Each production batch is managed through a production sheet, which provides the operators with the list of raw materials to be loaded, the required quantities, the loading sequence, operating instructions for the machines, dispersion times and processing speeds. This document is used as the operational reference for the entire manufacturing process and supports standardisation, error reduction and process repeatability. The manufacture of water-based paints is carried out using vertical dispersers. The main process stages include dosing and loading of raw materials into the machine, dispersion, preparation of the cans and feeding of the packaging equipment, and packaging of the finished product. The operational flow for water-based paints includes water loading, preparation and dispersion of cellulose, loading of additives, preparation and loading of powders, preparation and loading of resins, quality control, any required corrections, machine discharge, placement of filled cans on pallets and machine cleaning. The product is normally manufactured as a white or neutral base. Tinting may then be performed using an automated tinting machine, which doses concentrated pigments according to archived recipes. For colours not included in the archive, the laboratory defines the recipe using a spectrophotometer; the recipe is then validated and stored for future use. In specific cases, such as large orders, tinting may be performed directly in the production machine, with the required pigment quantity still being dosed by the tinting system before being added to the batch. Quality controls are carried out during and at the end of the production process to verify product conformity. Production process control includes verification of operator weighings through scales connected to the production server; new weighing records are analysed periodically and any value outside the tolerance limits triggers a notification to the quality department. Additional safeguards include printing of weighing tickets and verification of the weighing register by the quality department. |
