The ingredients are very different.
Oily paints are mainly oily substances, such as linseed oil and humic acid. On the other hand, water-based paints are mainly composed of water-based substances such as acrylic resin.
Different drying time
It takes a long time for oily paint to dry completely, about 24-48 hours; Water-based paint dries much faster and can be finished in a few hours.
Different coating effects
The film formed by oily paint is thick, with strong adhesion and durability, but there are relatively few color choices; Waterborne paint can form a film with high transparency and rich color selection, but its firmness may be slightly lower than that of oily paint.
The pollution degree of decoration is different
Oily coatings will release a lot of volatile organic compounds during construction, which will lead to poor air quality and affect health; Water-based paint is more friendly in this respect, releasing relatively few harmful substances, which makes the air quality after decoration better.
