Polymer putty is considered a relatively new product in the building materials market. They are divided into acrylic and latex. Both types of putty are ready-to-use material that is sold in containers of various volumes. Acrylic putty is used for rough, starting, leveling, finishing, internal, external works and finishing of facades of buildings. This putty is characterized by simplicity of application, functionality, versatility, but has a higher cost than gypsum and cement. Acrylic-based powder is a pure white, thick mass. While working with it, the layers applied with elastic, smooth, moisture-proof and high strength. Due to the paste-shaped texture, it is possible to easily control the thickness of the sucks, exactly distribute the material. If you follow the rules of work, after drying there will be no shrinkage, cracks.

Latex putty can be used only for internal work. A mixture of plasticizer, fillers and solidification regulators, in which Latex performs the link link. This putty plastic, it is convenient to work with it, to apply the thinnest layers. When dried, the applied layers are not cracking, do not appear. Of the disadvantages, you can note the high cost and reaction to low temperatures. With improper storage, freezing can lose its properties.

Gypsum putty allows you to create a perfectly smooth surface, eliminates the appearance of roughness. It is used for initial finishes to correct the strong irregularities, so the gypsum putty can be applied with a thick layer. One of the advantages is environmentally friendly, because the main component of the material is gypsum. This type of finish does not like moisture, with high humidity collapses. Therefore, it can only be used for dry premises. It is also easier to mechanically damage.

Cement putty has a grayish color, has frost resistance, strength, high resistant to high humidity. Therefore, such a putty is used for bathrooms, kitchens, facades of buildings. Disadvantages of cement putty: a small shrinkage, a small elasticity, the possibility of appearance with the time of microcracks.
To unambiguously say that some particular type of putty is better, it is impossible. Before choosing the material, read its properties, check the place of facing works. A good, correctly cooked spacure has a viscous, plastic structure, grain base and will be the best of its kind.
