Water-based paint.

Any paint that uses water as a solvent or dispersion medium can be called water-based paint. According to the type of binder in the coating, water-based coatings are divided into two categories: natural water-based coatings made of natural substances or minerals (such as potassium silicate) and petrochemical water-based coatings made of synthetic resins (such as acrylic resin).

Water-based paints include three types: water-soluble paints, water-dilutable paints, and water-dispersible paints (latex paints). Water-soluble coatings use water-soluble resins as film-forming substances, represented by polyvinyl alcohol and its various modifications. In addition, there are water-soluble alkyd resins, water-soluble epoxy resins, and inorganic polymer water-based resins. Extended information
