Why Choose Water Based Products

Fifty years ago, virtually all coatings products were solvent based. They contained high levels of organic compounds. These solvents facilitate application, drying and the formation of a durable, regular film. On the negative side, when these compounds evaporate, they release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere resulting in a strong odor and toxic impact on the environment. Stricter environmental regulations have required coatings manufacturers to dramatically reduce the levels of VOCs in their products.

Today, advances in coatings technology mean that water-based products are in many ways equal, or superior to their solvent-based counterparts.
