How to Formulate and Produce Elastic Textured Paint: Formula, Process, and Market Profit Guide

Elastic textured paint is a flexible architectural coating designed to create decorative texture (such as “granular / roughcast ) while providing great crack-bridging performance. It is widely used on interior/exterior walls, renovation projects, and low-cost construction.

Elastic Textured Paint Production Process

  • Add materials 1–5 in sequence, disperse for 10 minutes until cellulose fully dissolves into a transparent gel with no particles.
  • Add No. 6–7 and disperse for 1 minute.
  • Add materials 8–12 in sequence and disperse at high speed for 30 minutes until fineness < 50 μm.
  • Add materials 13–17 in sequence, disperse 10 minutes, cool the paint, then filter and package.

Common Problems & Solutions

Poor texture / not enough

Causes: Insufficient filler fineness, excessive emulsion concentration, insufficient viscosity.

Solutions:

Increase mica powder (Mica) by 5–10%

Add coarse-particle filler (0.3–0.5 mm quartz)

Increase viscosity by 20–30% with thickener 993.

Film cracking

Causes: Insufficient elasticity, insufficient film-forming temperature.

Solutions:

Increase emulsion 8199 by 10–20%

Add film-forming aids by 3–5%

Increase solids content

Sedimentation & Hard settling

Solution:

Add 0.3–0.5% bentonite

Control the grinding fineness

Add an anti-settling agent (can be added to wax paste)
