6. Difference of Paint and Gaina

Paint is generally a liquefied coating film on the surface. It provides protection and decoration with color and texture for the exterior and interior of homes or buildings.

There are basically 3 types of paint, Organic, Organic-inorganic hybrid and Inorganic.

     Organic paint
          The liquefied organic compounds. (containing carbon)
          Easy to handle and inexpensive.
          Not bio-degradable. (degradation limited when caustic agents are included)
          To avoid adverse health and environment effects, advisable to choose Low-VOC.
     Organic-inorganic hybrid
          The hybrid has both benefits and disadvantages.
     Inorganic paint
          Environmentally friendly and won't deteriorate easily.
          Because adhesion is low, chipping, cracking, and peeling are probable.
          These products may require special techniques and equipment for application.

Gaina and Paint are different types of products.
Although both can be applied on indoor and outdoor materials, each product provides different benefits. Both are applied in a similar manner, prepare the surface and paint primer before application.

Gaina is insulation with additional effects such as Soundproofing, Air-purifying, etc.

These attributes are achieved at room temperature, by forming thin layers of high density ceramic on the surface being coated. Gaina is a unique patented insulating formula provided by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency).

Gaina is an Eco-product that contributes to reducing CO2 emissions by suppressing the energy loss involved in heating and cooling.
