Distemper Paint

Paints made of lime, chalk, and pigments are known as distemper paints. A resin is formulated to bind the lime, chalk, and pigments together. We can directly apply it to the cement surface without coating or resurfacing; therefore, they are commonly known as cement paints. Distemper paint is a water-based paint that is the cheapest in the Indian market. It was traditionally used to whitewash the walls. You can check how to apply distemper paint right here.

Emulsion Paint

SB-Latex and Acrylic resin in an emulsified state act as a binding material or adhesive on the base of emulsion paint. Any paint necessitates the use of epoxy that adheres to the surface. After drying, the acrylic resin in this paint adheres to the surface and holds the other elements in place. A paint has Colorants that give it shade and UV protection, Liquids that absorb some of the pigmentations or increase the flow of the paint, and different Emulsifiers like an anti skinning agent, anti-settling, and, surface-active agents.

Emulsion paints are of higher grade and create a smooth wall surface. Distemper paint is less costly. It has a firm and shiny appearance. The process of using emulsion paint can be seen here.
