Types of Water-Based Paint

A Guide to Water Based Paints

Water-based paints have revolutionised the world of home décor and artistic expression. Offering versatility, durability, and ease of use, they have become a preferred choice for homeowners, artists, and professionals alike. In this article, we'll delve into the world of water based paints, exploring the types of water based paint, differences, advantages, and how Asian Paints can assist you in painting with water based paint.

Types of Water Based Paint

 

Acrylic Water Based Paint - Asian Paints

1. Acrylic Paint

Acrylic paint for walls is a versatile water-based paint known for its quick drying time and vibrant colours. It's commonly used in both artistic and decorative applications. Whether you're painting a canvas masterpiece or adding a fresh coat to your walls, acrylic paint offers excellent coverage and a durable finish.

Latex Water Based Paint - Asian Paints

2. Latex Paint

Often referred to interchangeably with acrylic paint, latex paint is a type of water-based paint that contains latex as a binder. It's widely used in interior and exterior house painting projects. Latex paints come in various finishes, including flat, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss, catering to different aesthetic preferences and functional needs.

 

The Difference Between Acrylic and Latex Paints

  • ● Composition: Water based acrylic paint is made from pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion, while latex paint is a water based paint that contains a synthetic latex binder.
  • ● Flexibility: Acrylic paint tends to be more flexible, making it suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including wood, metal, and plastic. Latex paint, on the other hand, is primarily used for walls and ceilings.

  • Finish: Acrylic paint for walls offers a glossy, satin, or matte finish depending on the formulation, whereas latex paint provides a range of finishes from flat to high gloss. Also in water based paints you have a lot of options to select from may it be water based metallic paint or water based enamel paint.

  • Applications: While both paints are water-based and easy to clean up with water, acrylic paint is preferred for artistic endeavours and smaller projects, whereas latex paint is favoured for larger surface areas such as walls and ceilings.
