Waterborne

Is your shop ready to make the jump to Waterborne paint? Waterborne paint is a low VOC content paint developed as an alternative to traditional solvent based paints. There are many reasons that shops have moved from solvent to waterborne, among them are environmental and health concerns from the use of solvent based paints. Other benefits of switching to waterborne include thinner pigments with higher opacity, more accurate mixing, easier blending and less hazardous waste. So if you are considering making a switch, then what are you waiting for? Are you concerned that your paint booth can’t handle the drying demands of waterborne painting?
