The factors of paint mainly include four parts: film-forming substances, pigments, solvents, and additives, and there are many classification methods. The concept of "water-based paint" in car paint is divided according to the type of solvent, which is opposite to "oily paint". Water-based paint is a coating that uses water as the primary solvent, while oil-based paint uses organic matter as the primary solvent. This is their difference.

So, is water-based paint good or not

Water-based paint is a new type of paint that has been increasingly recognized in recent years. Its advantages are environmental protection, odorless, and non harmful to physical health, greatly reducing the impact and pollution of oil-based paint on human health and the atmospheric environment.

Because traditional paint has a big title, which is the release of a large amount of volatile compounds during spraying, the English name is Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). This is mainly formed by the solvent it uses.

VOC is not only harmful to the human body, but also chemically reacts with nitrogen oxides in the air, causing ozone and forming a large amount of gas pollution. As the primary solvent for water-based paint, the VOC emissions will decrease by about 70% when replaced with water, and the environmental protection effect is still significant.

So over the years, industries that heavily use paint in furniture, decoration, automobiles, and more have been shifting towards water-based paint.

The disadvantage of water-based paint is not only in terms of environmental protection, but also in terms of its effectiveness.

Waterborne paint is a new type of paint, which has better color tone, aesthetics, hardness, wear resistance, scratch resistance, weather resistance, and other aspects than traditional paint repair.

After writing it, I would like to say that it is not the car owner, but the sprayer, who is at risk of using traditional paint spraying. The emission of VOC causes direct harm to the body of spray painters. For the sake of human nature, choosing water-based paint is also good.
