Tips of Using Waterborne Paint for Surface Coating

Waterborne paint as one of the most common paint on the market, is very popular with painting applicators. When sprayed waterborne paint onto a surface, the water and solvent in the paint evaporate, leaving behind the pigment for sealing and a clear coat. This paint isn't a new technology, however, it’s not easy to get a perfect coating film.

While spraying waterborne paint, here are some tips for reference:

1. Although VOC levels in waterborne paint are lower than solvent-based paints, this doesn’t mean users can slack off on the protective gear, a respirator is required at all working time for health.

2. Waterborne paint will sometimes requires wet-on-wet application, meaning the color that you apply immediately may differ from the color that appears when dry.

3. The painting tool is essential. The spray painting equipment should be professional for waterborne painting. if using electrostatic painting technology, the spray equipment should have special insulation design to avoids electric risk.

The main difference between waterborne and solvent-based paint is the diluent. Solvent-based paint contains organic solvent, benzene, formaldehyde, xylene, etc, while waterborne paint takes water as diluent. COLO Electrostatic spray painting equipment is a perfect solution that provides safe and effective finishapplies to both waterborne and solvent-based paint.
