For their purpose, putty can be aligned, finish, universal and specialized.
Linging putty are used for preliminary rough processing and surface leveling. Their choice depends on the material of the basis. The leveling putty should first of all have durability, high strength and good adhesion to the basis. Also, when choosing such a putty, an important indicator can be called its ability to apply a layer with inconsistent thickness (up to 25 millimeters).
The finish putty is applied to the surface directly before the implementation of its decorative decoration. This type of putty provides an opportunity to align all the remaining defects. The decorative coating used directly affects the choice of finishing putty.
In the event that you need to solve any problem that arose during putty, you can recommend a specialized putty for use. For example, if aggressive media may affect the surface, you can use the sample of Arzamit. The purpose of such a putty can be read on the packaging, where, in particular, it will be said that it is a specialized expanding putty or putty designed to seal joints.
Another type of putty can be called universal putty, from which we can conclude that they combine the functions of all three of the above -mentioned types of putty. Universal putty are convenient to use and practically suitable for any reason. Nevertheless, however, universal putty is inferior in quality to puttys intended for a specific orientation, so its value by someone can be estimated as a high.
It should be noted that the classification of putty by the assignment criterion is the most important and significant among other classifications of this building material.
