Water-based paint is one of the most popular and well-known paint types for home applications. This is because emulsion water-based paint is eco-friendly, odorless, and has a wide range of color options. Additionally, it is easy to apply water-based paint with simple brushes and paint rollers. Water-based paints are also called latex paints. They consist of a pigment and a binder with water used as a carrier.
Eco-friendly and easy clean-up
In comparison to oil-based paints, water-based paints are much more eco-friendly. The main carrier is water, which does not require chemicals for removal from brushes, skin, and surfaces.
Durable surface
While not as durable as oil, water-based paints have drastically improved. Higher quality 100% acrylic paints can last ten years or longer for exterior painting projects.
Crack and yellow-resistant
Water-based paints do not yellow or crack like oil-based options since there is more flexibility in the paint.
Stain and mildew resistant
Latex paints are great for interiors. They can be scrubbed and cleaned, resisting stains that can affect other types of paint and they resist mildew growth.
No fumes
There is no need for a gas-mask when the paint is water-based. There are no fumes like you will find in oil-based paints used in the automobile industry.
Dries quickly
Most water-based paints dry in less than six hours, making it possible to do two coats in one day.
Adheres to most surfaces
Wood, cement, brick, galvanized metal and vinyl surfaces all are compatible with water-based paints.

Acrylic water-based paints
Acrylic water-based paints have many advantages for your house. They seem to be similar to oil-based paints because of the finish and the shining aspect. Some benefits are the quick dry time, the durability, the waterproofing aspect, and ease to clean.
Latex water-based paints
In contrast with acrylic paints, latex is great for interior walls. Besides, latex paints come with many benefits like the low price. As they are economical, many homeowners use them to paint all house interiors, and due to the enamel (an additive), the surface finish is less porous.
Water-Based Paint Operation Skills
Tip 1: Use clean water to prepare paint viscosity to a suitable condition, measure with #4 viscometer. The appropriate viscosity is typically 20 to 30 seconds. If there is no viscometer, visual method can be used: stir the paint with a rod (iron rod or wooden stick) and pick it up to a height of 20 cm to stop and observe. If the paint liquid is continuous in short period(several seconds), it means too thick; if it is cut off the edge of the drum, it means too thin; when it is just 20cm high, the paint liquid is in a straight line, and the instantaneous flow is turned into a downward drop. This viscosity is suitable for spraying.
Tip 2: The air pressure is best controlled at 0.3-0.4 MPa (3-4 kgf/cm2). If the pressure is too small, the liquid of the paint will be poorly atomized, and the surface will form pitting. If the pressure is too large, it will sag and the paint mist will be too large, which will waste paint materials and affect operator health.
Tip 3: The distance between spray nozzle and object surface is generally 300-400 mm. It is easy to sag if too close; the paint mist is not uniform if too far. If the nozzle is far away from the object surface, paint fog is scattered on the way. The specific distance should be adjusted according to the type of paint, viscosity and pressure. Slow-drying paint spraying distance can be a little farther, quick-drying paint spraying, the distance can be closer; when the viscosity is thick, it can be closer, when the viscosity is thin, the distance can be farther; when the air pressure is large, the distance can be farther, when pressure is low, the pressure can be closer; the so-called "a little closer" or "a little farther" is small adjustment between 10 mm and 50 mm. If it exceeds this range, it is difficult to obtain a desired paint film.
Tip 4: The spray gun can be moved up and down, left and right, preferably at a speed of 10-12 m / min. The nozzle should be sprayed straight to the surface to minimize the oblique spray. When spraying to both ends of the object, spray gun trigger should be closed quickly to reduce paint fog, because the two ends often need to be sprayed twice or more, which is the most likely place for sag.
Tip 5: When spraying, the next track need to cover 1/3 or 1/4 of the previous one, so that there will be no leakage. When spraying the quick-drying paint, it is necessary to spray it in sequence. The effect of refilling is not ideal.
Tip 6: When spraying in an open space, pay attention to the wind direction (not suitable for operation in high winds). The operator should stand in the downwind direction to prevent paint mist from being blown onto the sprayed paint film to create an unsightly grainy surface.
Tip 7: The order of spraying is: difficult first then easy, first inside then outside. upside first then down side, small area firs then big. This will not cause the spray mist of the post-spray to splash onto the sprayed paint film and destroy the sprayed paint film.
How to Choose a Water-based Paint
Understand your application scenario
What you are preparing to paint and its surroundings play an important role in your decision-making process. Is it the large walls of the living room, the sun exposure of the exterior of the house, the well-maintained wood furniture or the rough floor of the garage? Each scenario requires a specific type of water-based coating to address the unique challenges it will face. Interior paint prioritizes ease of cleaning and resistance to wear and tear in daily life, while exterior paint focuses on weather resistance and resistance to weathering. For special surfaces, the fluidity of water-based coatings needs to be considered.
Types of resins contained in water-based coatings
From the above we already know that the resin of water-based paint determines the durability, smoothness and overall performance of the paint. Although acrylics and latex dominate the world of water-based coatings due to their versatility and environmental friendliness. However, you can also choose water-based paints that contain other types of substances depending on your specific needs.
Cost conundrum
Your budget often has the final say during the paint selection process. The initial cost will be better with water-based coatings that are easy to apply, have minimal VOC emissions, and have greater durability. But if you're a long-termist, it's worth the effort. Generally, if the weather resistance requirements are higher, we will recommend choosing water-based coatings with higher acrylic content.
Environmental awareness
In today's increasingly eco-conscious world, choosing water-based paint is a stroke of environmental genius. With low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor, these paints not only decorate your walls but also pay homage to nature. By choosing paints that are more environmentally friendly, you're helping to contribute to a bigger picture of a healthy planet.
Brilliant colors
Finally, let your creative flag fly when choosing a hue. Water-based paints come in a rainbow of colors, providing vibrant pigment that stays true over time. Whether you're painting a statement wall or adding a subtle hue to a room, the color options are wide-ranging, vibrant, and largely dependent on your personal preferences.
How To Apply Water Based Paints
Think of your home as a canvas waiting for the brush of creativity to transform its walls into a masterpiece. Using water-based paint, this artistic endeavor becomes not just a task but a joyful experience. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to apply water-based coatings like a pro:
Check and prepare
Before you begin painting, inspect the surface for any existing oil-based paint. If present, you will need to remove it to ensure proper adhesion of the water-based paint.
Surface preparation
Improve surface smoothness by repairing any cracks, holes or imperfections. Sanding the surface can help smooth out rough areas and create a better bonding surface for water-based paint.
Clean the surface
Use a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner to remove all dust, dirt, and debris from the surface. A clean surface ensures that the paint adheres properly and creates a smooth surface.
Apply water-based primer
Apply a water-based primer to the surface. This not only enhances paint adhesion but also helps achieve a more even finish. Allow the primer to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions. Manual brush or roller coating is usually used for interiors, and spraying processes may be used for exterior walls.
Apply water-based topcoat
Now comes the final step – applying the water-based topcoat. Use a high-quality brush or roller for best results. Start by cutting the edges with a brush, then fill in the rest of the surface with a roller for a smooth, even coat.
Other tips and tricks
Thin coats
It's better to apply several thin coats of paint rather than one thick coat. This helps achieve a more even finish and reduces the risk of dripping.
Dry between coats
Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. This ensures proper adhesion and prevents the paint from peeling or cracking.
Cleaning
Clean brushes and rollers with soap and water immediately after use. This will help extend their lifespan and keep them in good condition for future use.
Ventilate and dry
If you are working indoors. Remember to keep your home well ventilated during and after construction. Although water-based coatings are low-voc, the additives and binders in them will always have a slight smell. This will help the paint evaporate and keep the air fresh.
By remembering these steps and tips, you can unleash your creativity and give your home a new look with water-based paint. Enjoy the process and use your imagination!
Understanding your water-basedpaint's personality
Not all water-based paints are created equal-some are introverts, preferring minimal interaction with water, while others are more extroverted, welcoming generous amounts of hydration. Begin with a small test to understand how your paint reacts. Think of it as getting to know a new friend before inviting them to a party.
The art of adding water
Start by transferring some coatingsto your mixing container. With the grace of a tea ceremony, add water in small increments-about 10% of the paint volume to start. Like coaxing a cat out from under the bed, patience is key. The exact amount of water required depends on the paint you are using and the construction process, and you can ask the seller when purchasing the paint for specific ratios.
Stirring the cauldron
Gently stir the mixture, combining the elements with the care of a master potion-maker blending ingredients for a spell of smoothness. Observe the paint's consistency; it should flow like a gentle stream, not run like a river or sit stubbornly like a mud puddle.
The test of the canvas
Apply a small amount to your surface or a test canvas. Watch how it behaves-does it cover with the elegance of a royal cloak, or does it soak in, leaving a wanting gaze? Adjust as necessary, adding more water or paint to achieve the desired consistency.
Oil Based Paints VS Water Based Paints
Element
Oil-based coatings: Oil-based coatings use an organic solvent (usually mineral turpentine, linseed oil, or other solvents) as a base to make them durable and resistant to wear and tear. However, these solvents also emit strong fumes that require harsh chemicals to clean up.
Water-based coatings: Water-based coatings, on the other hand, use (you guessed it) water as a base. They contain lower levels of volatile organic compounds (vocs), are less harmful to the environment and are easier to clean up.
Gloss
Oil-based paints: Oil-based paints typically have a higher gloss level, giving them a shiny surface that can make colors appear more vibrant. While oil-based paint resists fading longer than water-based paint, it tends to yellow over time.
Water-based coatings: Water-based coatings are available in a variety of finishes, including matte, eggshell, satin and semi-gloss, providing more versatility in achieving different looks. Nonetheless, water-based paints have a duller shine than oil-based paints. But water-based paints are uv resistant, making it easier to maintain consistent color over time.
Drying time
Oil-based coatings: Oil-based coatings take longer to dry. Under the same environment, the drying time required for oil-based coatings is 4-5 times that of water-based coatings. More patience is required between coats of paint.
Water-based coatings: Water-based coatings dry faster, typically within 2-6 hours, allowing projects to be completed faster.
Durability and service life
Oil-based coatings: The drying oils in oil-based coatings create a hard surface when completely dry, making them more durable. Also, oil-based paint seals the surface very well. Therefore, they have better moisture resistance than water-based paints. But because the resulting oil-based topcoat is so brittle, it can crack or turn white over time, sometimes with uv rays.
Water-based coatings: While water-based coatings may not be as durable as oil-based coatings, advances in technology have made them more resistant to wear and fading than ever before.
Environmental protection
Oil-based coatings: Oil-based coatings contain higher levels of volatile organic compounds, which can cause indoor air pollution and have a greater impact on the environment. And there are strict requirements for the storage environment.
Water-based coatings: Because their main ingredient is water, water-based coatings contain lower levels of volatile organic compounds, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
Ideal applications
Oil-based paint: Oil-based paint is best for surfaces that require a high level of protection and durability, such as trim, cabinets, and furniture.
Water-based paint: Water-based paint is ideal for interior walls, ceilings and surfaces that need to dry quickly and be easy to clean.
Weather conditions
Oil-based coatings: Oil-based coatings are more tolerant to different weather conditions during construction, so extreme temperatures and humidity environments will not have a big impact on construction, drying time and coating performance.
Water-based coatings: Water-based coatings are more sensitive to temperature and humidity during construction and perform less well when applied in adverse weather conditions. The drying time will be longer in high humidity or low temperature weather, and it will cure too quickly in high temperature. Water-based coatings that dry too quickly or too slowly can affect the final result and the long-term performance of the coating.
Construction object surface
Oil-based paint: Surface flatness does not have much of an impact on the paint. But it is different if there is moisture on the surface of the construction object. Because oil-based coatings are water-resistant, they cannot form a strong bond with the surface in the presence of moisture on the surface of the substrate.
Water-based paint: Due to their different compositions, water-based coatings can withstand small amounts of moisture on the surface during application, as water-based coatings are able to absorb moisture. Although it will thin the paint slightly, it will not affect the paint's ability to form a bond with the surface.
Cost
Oil-based coatings: Oil-based coatings are generally more expensive than water-based coatings, in part because the solvents used in their production cost more.
Water-based paint: Water-based paint is generally more cost-effective, making it a budget-friendly option for many projects.
