What You Need to Know About Water-Based Paints
As calls for environmental protection from countries around the world grow stronger, requirements for environmental emissions in industrial manufacturing—especially in the spray painting industry—are becoming increasingly strict. Low-pollution production models are gradually becoming mainstream, and many coating enterprises have begun to adopt the production of water-based coatings. Of course, this allows you to feel that you are getting good value for your investment, as water-based coatings make workshop production more environmentally friendly, simplify the painting process, and create a healthier working environment for teams.
What Is Water-Based Paint?
Coatings that use water as a solvent or dispersion medium are generally classified as water-based coatings. In the spray painting industry, this type of coating is water-based, which significantly reduces the risk of fire and explosion and is also beneficial to environmental protection.
The Benefits of Using Water-Based Coatings
·A durable paint surface that is easy to clean and maintain
·No pungent odor, with VOC content significantly lower than that of oil-based paints
·High safety performance and non-flammability
·Good air permeability; the paint surface is not prone to cracking or mold
·Good adaptability to various materials with strong adhesion
How to Distinguish Between Water-Based Paint and Oil-Based Paint
| Comparison Items | Water-Based Coatings | Oil-Based Coatings |
| Environmental performance | Use water as a diluent and have low VOC emissions, making them environmentally friendly | Use organic solvents and have higher VOC emissions, making them less environmentally friendly |
| Odor | Coatings have a relatively mild odor | Strong, pungent smell |
| Safety | Non-flammable, making the application process safer | Flammable, so fire prevention must be considered when working in workshops |
| Drying speed | Dry quickly; application process is simple | Relatively slower drying process |
| Paint film effect | The paint film is fine-textured and breathable | The paint film is hard and has a high gloss |
| Maintenance and repair | Easy to maintain and clean. Local repairs are convenient and can be done by directly applying touch-up paint | More complex to repair, and the old paint film must be sanded before repair |
| Application difficulty | Easy to apply and can be used directly after dilution with water | Have higher application requirements and are sensitive to environmental temperature. |
| Cost | Have relatively low costs | Have relatively high costs |
Although water-based coatings are more environmentally friendly, they still contain volatile VOCs that can be harmful to the environment.
As a professional manufacturer of spray booths, we have specifically developed spray booths for water-based paints. Through scientifically designed airflow transport and direction, we ensure that harmful substances generated during the spray painting process are efficiently carried away by airflow and transported to the filtration system for centralized purification. This prevents accumulation in the workshop, improves the working environment, and ensures that production emissions meet environmental management requirements.
