What is breathable paint and why is it important?

Breathable paints are products that form a paint layer on the painted surface that does not pass water but can pass water vapor. They can also be defined as microporous paints with high water vapor permeability. The wood used in the outdoor environment may work due to precipitation and humidity changes in the air, or a small crack that may form on the surface as a result of receiving a small impact may cause the wood to get wet. This water, which soaks the wood under the paint layer, dries in a short time, which is very important for the life of the paint and the wood. Keeping the wood wet for a long time causes both the paint to fall off and the wood to rot. Breathable paints prevent this situation. At the same time, it penetrates well into wood and has the flexibility to work with wood.
