General comment Water-based paint is made of microscopic plastic particles of pigment, binders, and water. It is water-soluble but becomes resistant to water when dry. It uses various types of binders like acrylic and alkyd. Water-based paints emit almost 90 percent less VOCs compared to solvent. They are popular for home applications due to their eco-friendliness, odorlessness, and wide range of color options. They do not emit fumes and do not require mineral spirits or turpentine to clean as they easily wash with soap and water.
