As the name suggests, Water Based epoxy paint uses water as the main solvent, without VOCs, making it environmentally friendly. This type of paint has good coverage and adhesion to different substrates like metals, wood, and concrete. During the drying period, water evaporation allows the epoxy components to cross-link, forming a strong coating. These paints are best for residential structures, schools and hospitals because they are less flammable and lower-odor when compared to solvent-based paints. In addition, Water based epoxy paints are sure to resist chemical, water, and abrasion which would mar the beauty and strength of the coating.
