Advantages of VEAK 1180
A popular type of paintwork material is considered to be water-based paint VEAC 1180.
Walls and ceilings are painted using VEAC 1180. The coating is water-resistant, therefore it is applicable in rooms where the influence of moisture is increased. The use of paints and varnishes when painting facades is allowed. Aqueous emulsion has the following positive qualities:
- high adhesive properties;
- environmental friendliness;
- explosion and fire safety;
- strength;
- water resistance;
- vapor permeability;
- economical consumption;
- drying speed;
- ease of use.
The advantages of VEAC 1180 paint also include compatibility with various types of substrates: plaster, concrete, metal, etc.
Paint composition
- Acrylic dispersion — 50%.
- White pigment (titanium dioxide or aluminum oxide), as well as fillers - chalk, barite, calcite, mica, talc - 37%.
- Plasticizers to increase elasticity and hiding power (lignosulfonate, dibutyl phthalate) - 7%.
- Various additives (defoamers, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, preservatives) - 6%.
The thickener in most cases is carboxymethylcellulose (CMC glue). Latex is added to some types of VEAK-1180. Two-layer latex emulsion painting will hide cracks up to 1 mm wide. Product reviews are mostly positive. Both construction specialists and home craftsmen speak in favor of VEAK-1180 paint.
Mikhail, construction foreman:
“It’s easier to work with water-based emulsion than with lime. And it is tinted better. Once they brought VEAC-1180 paint to the site. We opened the package, diluted it with some water, and turned it into a soft coffee color. During the shift, the three of us went through 6 apartments with a spray gun. It goes on smoothly, the coverage is good, it doesn’t flow, it doesn’t splash. Of course, you need to stir all the time. The plan was made quickly then.”
Andrey, private developer:
“I thought for a long time about the interior decoration of the cottage. I read the reviews. I decided to paint the walls and ceiling with acrylic emulsion VEAK-1180. And I didn’t regret it. The designer mixed very beautiful shades from the colors - icy blue, pale pistachio, pearl. He said if you don’t like it, you can easily paint it over. But we liked it. Perfectly smooth matte surface, no drips, no sagging. Nice paint."
Certification, decoding and GOST
Compliance of paintwork materials with GOST is a guarantee of its quality. The requirements and characteristics of VEAK 1180 paint are specified in GOST 28196-89. The name indicates that the composition is classified as water-based (WE), acrylic-containing (AK). The unit indicates that the composition is used for external painting, 180 is the serial number of the material in GOST.
Obtaining a certificate of conformity strengthens consumer confidence, as it confirms the quality of the product. The document must indicate:
- compliance with GOST;

This is a document confirming the compliance of a certain product with the standards of its production prescribed in GOST. The certificate of conformity must indicate:
- physical and legal paint production address;
- certificate validity date;
- results of tests and laboratory checks of paint composition;
- checklist.
The authenticity of the certificate is ensured by the seal and signature.
The certificate guarantees the buyer the purchase of high-quality enamel that will meet the stated technical parameters. You can request the document from the seller in the store, and they must provide it to you.
How to paint with this composition correctly
To obtain a uniform paint layer with the stated parameters, it is necessary to follow the technique of surface preparation and application of paintwork materials. Despite the simplicity of working with VEAK 1180, compliance with the technology is mandatory to achieve an effective result. The surface is pre-cleaned, puttied and primed.
Tool
Suitable for coloring:
- medium-sized rectangular brushes - they have an optimal absorption rate;
- rollers with long soft pile;
- The spray gun will reduce consumption and work time.
The best option would be to use several tools, for example, a roller for the main surface, a brush for processing corners.
Paint tinting
To obtain the required paint color, a pigment is selected. Inorganic dyes are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, but their color range is limited. There are more shades available among organic colorants, but they lose color faster in the sun.
For tinting you need to pour 100 ml. paint and add pigment drop by drop. Having received the desired color, you should calculate the required amount of dye for the entire volume of paintwork.
Application order
It is better to use the prepared composition immediately, since the shelf life of paints and varnishes is 1 year at a temperature not lower than +5°C.
If storage conditions are not maintained, quality parameters will deteriorate. Painting is carried out at a temperature of +20°C. This indicator is considered optimal. Paint is applied in 2-3 passes. The first layer dries for 1 hour. It is recommended to apply subsequent coatings after this time.

It is produced in accordance with GOST R 52020-2003.
VD-AK has so many names that you can easily get overwhelmed by this variety!
Water-based paint, water-based paint, water-dispersion, VD-AK-1180, VD-AK-2180, VD-AK-111, VD-VA-224, VD-KCH, dropsy, polyvinyl acetate, water-borne, acrylic, interior, ceiling, washable , moisture-resistant, façade and whatever else they call it... Now we’ll try to figure it all out!
Racks with VD-AK paints in the Maxidom store
Water is an excellent solvent; many substances dissolve easily in it. This is why pure water is rarely found in nature. The blood of humans and animals is mainly composed of water. Water is environmentally friendly.
Let's decipher the name of the paint VD-AK. The first letter B is water, the second D is dispersion, after the hyphen AK is an acrylic copolymer, since many manufacturers currently make water-based paint using acrylic copolymer (AK) - more than 70% of all paint produced. We get: VD-AK is a suspension, an emulsion of acrylic copolymer in water.
A little history! Water-based paints originate in the 17th century in the USA. (where would we be without them). They invented an emulsion consisting of lime and water. In the USSR, the first developments date back to the 20s and 30s of the 20th century, but the Second World War slowed down their development. After the Victory, the production of VD-AK increased by leaps and bounds.
The West quickly realized that the future belonged to water-based paints, since compared to alkyd materials they did not have such toxicity and fire hazard. In Russia, this trend is still significantly behind, people are chasing cheapness (PF-115 and others). But still, the future belongs to water-based paints, and we will gradually get there!
Customer Reviews
Consumers note the high performance characteristics of VEAC 1180 and the ease of working with the composition.

In addition, the compositions received positive reviews from professionals who noted the ease of working with the coloring material.
Water-based acrylic paint combines many positive qualities that are indispensable for painting work. When using certified products, it is possible to achieve an ideal coloring result from an aesthetic and operational point of view. Moisture-resistant compounds perfectly withstand external negative influences, creating a reliable protective layer for any type of base.
Material composition
The composition of VEAC 1180, which belongs to paints and varnishes of the acrylic group, contains acrylic dispersion. It is this component that forms the basis of the water emulsion - it makes up ½ of the entire composition. According to GOST 19214-80, the components of the product also include:
- white pigment (dye);
- preservatives;
- plasticizers;
- defoamers;
- other targeted additives;
- glue-thickener KLC.
Depending on the manufacturing plant, the composition may also include latex, but it is not always present. All of these components form a high-quality material that is resistant to water and household chemicals, so the paint is considered washable. It has no unpleasant odor, is non-toxic and can be used in any room.
Manufacturers and price
Paint production is carried out by several companies, so the price and technical characteristics vary. Also, the cost varies depending on the type of paint, here are approximate prices per liter:
- fire retardant paint – 160 rubles;
- interior – 40 rubles;
- universal – 55 rubles;
- façade – 70 rubles.
Among manufacturers, the most commonly found products on sale are the AQUA brand; this company produces the best materials in terms of adhesion. Water emulsion is also produced by Eurolux, Finnish Tikkurila, and German Dufa. Among imported manufacturers, products from the brands Remmers, Fontecoat, Epoxy, and the Polish “Sniezka” are also popular. The last listed manufacturer produces VEAC 1180 with lower consumption per square meter than the others.
Work technology
To apply, the solution must be at room temperature; if freezing was carried out, wait until it thaws. After mixing the composition until a homogeneous consistency, if you find that the paint is too thick, you can dilute it with water.
A consistency that is too thick will not allow you to apply the paint evenly, while a liquid consistency will not paint the entire surface well, for this reason diluting the material is an important step. The use of thinners is not allowed; they will harm the properties of the paint.
Painting begins after the base has been cleaned and primed.
The composition is mixed to a homogeneous consistency.
Tinting
The paint comes in white color, for this reason pigments are introduced for color dyeing. The following dyes are better suited for VEAC 1180:
- Dufa D230;
- Deluxe brand colors;
- Products from domestic brands “Unicolor”, “Dali”, “Palizh”.
A large amount of pigment is not introduced so as not to negatively affect the characteristics of the paint. Inorganic dyes retain their color brightness longer, but their variety is small. Organic pigments have a larger range of shades, but their UV exposure is lower. So the first type is often chosen for facade work, the second for interior decoration.
Pigments are introduced for color dyeing.
Coloring
Painting work can be carried out at temperatures from +20 degrees. Tools you can choose from are rollers, brushes and spray guns. Brushes are necessary for hard-to-reach areas; when working with large areas, the process will take a long time; it is better to choose rollers or spray guns.
The last tool helps to paint the surface evenly and without streaks. Allow the layer to dry for at least an hour before applying the next one, if double coating is required.
The spray gun helps to paint the surface evenly and without streaks.
Tools
For working with a brush, a rectangular type is suitable; the bristles are taken to be slightly stiff. The roller should have long, soft pile. The foam type will not be able to paint the wall without bubbles.
The spray gun is not cheap, so its use is justified when working with large areas.
The roller should have long, soft pile.
Consumption
The average paint consumption is 150 ml/sq.m. To make it even lower, good preparation of the base is carried out. All types of contaminants are removed and a primer solution is applied.
Consumption increases when treating rough or highly absorbent surfaces.
The average paint consumption is 150 ml/sq.m. To make it even lower, good preparation of the base is carried out.
Benefits of paint
VEAC paint is suitable for painting wall, ceiling and facade surfaces. There are several types of paint, which are divided into interior, facade and universal. Their difference relates to the different volume of constituent substances, which contributes to obtaining different levels of resistance to water and other factors.
The following points are noted as advantages:
- High degree of adhesion;
- Quick-drying product;
- Reasonable cost;
- Economical consumption;
- Fire and explosion safety;
- The layer will be durable and will last a long time;
- Ease of application;
- It goes on smoothly and creates a matte finish.
The coating is resistant to abrasion and water and can withstand up to five wash cycles. When using tint, the color will last a long time.
The composition can be used on any surface, but application to metallic and glossy substrates can be difficult due to less adhesion to them.
