Fast-Drying & low-odour, ideal for both interior & exterior use, provided areas are suitably well-ventilated. Coo-Var Water Based All Metals Primer is a water based rust preventing general purpose metals primer. Coo-Var Water Based All Metals Primer is suitable for priming most metals including iron, steel, aluminium, brass, copper and more.

Allow the paint time to dry. Unlike fast-drying solvent based formulas, water based spray paint needs time to dry before it becomes permanent. Give the paint 15 minutes to an hour to dry so that it fully adheres to the surface. Besides the characteristic of the ink, the absorbency and the texture of the surface is important – it will determine the permanence and the brilliance of the colour. All products manufactured from 1st January 2007 onwards had to be compliant in formulation and labelling. Non-compliant products manufactured before 1st January 2007 and 1st January 2010 respectively could be placed onto the market for a 12-month period after these dates. After that time, they had to be removed from the market. Call our sales and technical support team Water Based Vs Solvent Based Paints: What You Need to Know Paint can be sprayed with a paint sprayer if it is water-based. How can I thin water based paint? Water is thinned into the paint before it is painted. When both of these ingredients have been combined, apply the paint to your paint sprayer and allow it to dry.VOCs are emitted from many sources such as road vehicles and aircraft, cleaning agents, cosmetics, aerosols, paint and industrial operations. They can accelerate the rate nitrogen oxides (from combustion processes) react with sunlight to create low level ozone and photochemical smogs. In 2007, new VOC Regulations were introduced in the UK, the new VOC limits were applied in two phases to allow product development and a managed transition to the new requirements. A key principle of MOLOTOW™ is the practical function of its products. The same is true, when it comes to environmental and social issues. Instead of provisional, empty phrases, MOLOTOW™ is active in innovating sustainable ideas and concepts. Now obviously this isn’t always the case, there are and always will be instances where a solvent based product will be better suited and it doesn’t mean that water based is always best, BUT these regulations although frustrating for many, levelled the playing field for water based technology and allowed the products to be considered instead of overlooked and it turned out, they were actually pretty good!

Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs are specific materials which evaporate readily and are found in the atmosphere from vehicle exhausts, cleaning agents, furniture polish and fabric softeners. Examples in paints are white spirit, ethanol, xylene and butyl acetate where they play an important part in controlling viscosity, flow and drying. In the Regulations VOCs are ‘solvents’ that have a boiling point below 250°C at standard atmospheric pressure.

The ONE4ALL spray can is also odorless, as the volatile solvent amount is substituted with 85% water. Similarly, for sloping roofs, Rust-Oleum Mathys’ Dacfill Waterproofing Paint is a watertight membrane than is also a very good alternative to asbestos sheet replacement. With its highly pigmented formula based on 4 times ground car pigments, MOLOTOW™ spray cans are still unreachable in their quality, opacity, drying times, resistance and function. Moreover, MOLOTOW™ markers are the only markers that unify these spray paint qualities in a high-quality writing instrument.
