What’s the Difference?
You’ve probably heard people discussing “waterborne” and “solvent-borne” paints and wondered how they’re different? Does choosing one mean better results and the other mean better for the environment?
Simply put, solvent-based coatings use chemical compounds as the main solvent for thinning pigment solids. Although effective, this method releases Volatile Organic Compound into the atmosphere. Waterborne coatings use water as the primary solvent which greatly reduces VOC emissions.
Do waterborne coatings perform as well as solvent-borne? Absolutely. Sikkens Autowave has proven to be the best waterborne paint system on the market, meeting the highest standards for car repair.
