Water based paints can cover a variety of technologies and products but in its simplest form it means the product has been manufactured with water as its ‘solvent’. Water based paints can nearly always be thinned and cleaned up (if required/specified) with clean, cold water. Therein lies a small advantage in itself as you will never be caught short of thinner/cleaner and best of all its effectively free! Just like solvent based paints, water based products can include epoxies, polyurethane, acrylics, and more.

It is advisable to store water based paints in dry environments of between 5-30°C, protecting them from sharp drops or spikes in temperature change. All products have a minimum temperature for use, water based paints are usually around 8-10°C as a minimum, with a maximum air humidity of 80% R.H. They also have maximum temperatures which can be just as damaging if ignored, this can be as high as 55°C with some products. In all instances, the substrate temperature must be at least 5°C above dew point. Outside of these parameters water based paints can be severely affected, not just for application but also long term performance and drying.
