Abstract


Current research literature on coatings for building applications make evident the existence of important damage both in outdoors and indoors applications when the paint is used without any reinforcement because of several reasons: the low quality of some paint components, coatings extremely thin, and the unskilful of painters.
This article studies the behaviour of some industrial paints for indoors and outdoors applications when reinforced with different gravimetric fractions of dispersable short cut glass fibre yarns. Jt is also studied the support influence (cement mortar, plasterboard and laminated plasterboard) and the application method (handy or sprayed). A better performance and durability is obtained for the fractions by weight which are determined for each type of paint, support and application method. Neither the paint colour properties nor the brightness and texture get worse when these gravimetric fractions of glass fibre are added lo the paint.
