How long is the shelf life of emulsion paint?

When the latex paint wall is damaged, some people will use the remaining latex paint to repair, but they are worried about exceeding the shelf life, so how long is the shelf life of the latex paint?

1. Generally speaking, the latex paint has a shelf life. When the latex paint exceeds the shelf life, it can no longer be used continuously, because the adhesive effect of the latex paint at this time is now invalid. If it is forced to be applied on the wall, generally after a period of time, the latex paint is prone to crack and fall. There are many kinds of coatings on the market, and the shelf life will vary with different products.

2. However, there is no fixed answer to the details of the shelf life of the latex paint. Generally, it needs to be judged based on the internal data of the latex paint, storage environment, whether to open the seal, and other factors. Many manufacturers will mark the shelf life on the latex paint tank, and this shelf life can only be used as a reference.

3. Generally, the latex paint produced in China has been diluted at the time of development, so the shelf life will be shorter than that of the undiluted paint, which can only be maintained for about three years at normal temperature. If the imported latex paint has not been opened, the shelf life is more than five years. If it has been opened, the shelf life is more than three years.

4. When purchasing latex paint, you must check the production date and shelf life of the latex paint, and it is better to use the latex paint within the shelf life. If there is any remaining latex paint, it should be sealed and stored, and it should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place.

5. When purchasing latex paint, you should select the appropriate latex paint according to the construction site and construction site. There are many functions of latex paint on the market, and the applicable construction site will also be different due to different functions. For example, the bedroom and air conditioner should generally choose the latex paint with strong adhesion, while the kitchen and balcony should generally choose the scrub-resistant latex paint.
