The main difference between water-based paint and oil-based paint in terms of color is:
Color saturation: Water-based paints generally have higher color saturation, and the colors are more vivid and bright, while the colors of oil-based paints are relatively dull.
Clarity: Water-based paints typically have a high degree of transparency and are able to show the grain and texture of wood or other substrates, while oil-based paints are less transparent.
Drying time: Water-based paints usually dry faster and can be finished in less time, while oil-based paints take longer to dry completely.
Brushing effect: Water-based paint usually has a relatively smooth and uniform coating, while oil-based paint may have more brush marks and uneven coating after brushing.
It should be noted that because the pigments contained in water-based paint are different from those of oil-based paint, there may be some slight differences in color between the two. In addition, individual colors may have different effects in different types of paints, so comparisons and tests can be made according to actual needs when selecting.
In general, water-based paints do not contain formaldehyde. Water-based paint is an environmentally friendly paint whose main components are water and acrylic resin. Compared with traditional solvent-based paints, water-based paints have the characteristics of low VOC (volatile organic compounds), which are safer for humans and the environment, such as Gimlanbo’s hot-selling waterborne silver coating. However, this does not mean that all water-based paints are formaldehyde-free. When purchasing water-based paint, it is best to check the product description or label to ensure that the water-based paint we buy meets the required environmental protection standards.
