Water-based paints

Water-based paints

Let’s discuss in such essay and shed a light on the nature of water-based paints and their merits and demerits. We will talk about such type of paints due to its wide-spread nowadays. Water-based paints are such kind of paints that you can thin it by using water unlike the oil-based paints which needs some solvents to thin them. Though they are thinned with water but after their quick dry they will be so resistant to water. Water-based paints generally consist from microscopic plastic particles of the binder , filler and pigments. For the binder layer some different materials can be used such as vinyl , PVA ( wood glue or school glue ) , alkyd or acrylic.

Water-based paints are preferred by most customers nowadays due to the strong advantages which made it even surpass the advantages of oil-based paints. First of all, they are children friendly as no odor will emit from it. So children can play near and touch the wall surface directly after it has dried. Due to the so low amount of volatile organic component VCO which may release in to the air so it is environment friendly.

For the application on wood it is most recommended than oil-based paints. Because water-based paints provide elastic surface that is flexible and can respond to the expansion and contraction of wood in different weather temperatures without resulting in cracks on the surface of the binder.

Water-based paints are durable and provide hard strong surface after their drought which is quick by nature. Due to the non-existent of solvents or VCO low levels so they are non-toxic. Surface of the paint has less rate of porous . They needs so easy clean-up after drying just resining by a brush and plate using warm-water and no need for any solvents to finish it like oil=based paints. Self-leveling is one of the best qualities that distinguish water-based paints from the oil-based ones as the binder will be smooth and strong and free from the brush marks so you don’t to apply many layers to hide such marks as you will have to do with the oil-based paints.
