What is anti carbonate paints?

Can you use interior paint outdoors and seal it to make it weather proof?
No, most interior paints do not have enough freeze-thaw flexibility nor UV resistance to be used successfully outside. If you seal it with an exterior paint, that will take care of the UV issue, however you would want to seal it with a 100% acrylic primer, then coat it with a high grade paint to overcome the freeze-thaw problem. Neither interior nor exterior paints are weatherproof, only weather resistant.
Is matte paint only emulsion?
Emulsion (latex) paint is usually the least expensive matte paint, but it isn't the only kind available. For small projects such as crafts you could use acrylic paint. For walls, you could use emulsion, lime-wash or traditional milk paint. Lime-wash or milk paint would be more expensive, but they give off less toxic fumes and are also used in restoring historic homes because they are more authentic. For a very matte effect, you can also put pigments in the plaster (if you are building plaster walls) instead of painting them. Oil-based paints always have some shine to them, but are preferred for painting woodwork and for outdoor projects because they stand up to harsh weather and to being washed better than emulsion paints.
What is the difference between Lustre Paint and Emulsion Paint?
Emulsion is a type of paint, some call it latex, and it is water based. Emulsion paint comes in several gloss factors (levels).Gloss paint refers to the hardness of the finish and the amount of light reflected from it.The most common gloss factors (from least to most) are:Matte - used for ceilings and areas that do not get touched, or in some cases for the depth of color. This paint can not be washed or cleaned without ruining the finish.Eggshell - used commonly in bedrooms, living rooms and areas where there is a minimum of hand traffic. The color depth and finish are esthetically pleasing and you can wipe fingerprints and mild dirt off without marring the finish.Pearl - this is a relatively new finish that can be used in kitchens, bathrooms and high traffic hallways. Many of my clients use this in children's play rooms. Because the finish is harder you can actually wash these walls to remove dirt.Semi-gloss - This is the traditional finish for trim, and was once used in kitchens and baths because the harder finish was less permeable to water. The hardness factor allows the paint to stand up better to wear and tear and can be washed repeatedly, making it ideal for baseboards, casings, other trim work.Gloss - With the range of gloss factors available today, full gloss paint is most commonly used for furniture these days. The hardness factor makes a nice smooth, durable finish.
Can you turn interior paint into exterior paint?
Interior paint could be used on the exterior with a much shorter lifespan. To extend the lifespan a topcoat to seal it would be advisable. Instead of this two step process, an exterior paint is advisable.

How does emulsion paint work?
my name is CierraI am currently working on emulsions. this is why paint is an emulsion:Emulsions are a mixture of two substances that do not mix. One of the substances is dispersed in the other. Emulsions have a clouded look due to the various substance boundaries that scatter light rays passing through them. Emulsions are not formed naturally and are generally unstable. Paints are a kind of emulsion. The paint pigments are suspended in a solvent that is also used to control the viscosity of the emulsion paint.
