One of the most significant advantages of waterborne paints is their reduced environmental impact because such paints do not contain harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). If you want to make your business eco-friendlier, they are an excellent choice!

The Autobody Source also points to the health benefits that waterborne paints offer to your employees. With fewer VOCs and toxins to breathe in during shifts, your workers can enjoy a much healthier workspace. Moreover, such coatings are less flammable, thereby reducing the risk of workplace injuries.

What's more, using waterborne paints can save your business money in the long run. This is because such products require fewer thinners, additives, and hardeners than solvent-based paints, reducing the overall cost of each paint job, The Autobody Source says.

The expert also notes that waterborne paints do not result in inferior coatings compared to their solvent-based counterparts. They offer a high-gloss finish that won’t require you to add a clear coat finish and the coating is heat and corrosion-resistant.

The guide concludes by sharing tips on how to make your transition from one paint type to another seamless. In particular, it highlights the need to update certain equipment like your spray guns and to factor in the longer curing time for waterborne paints.

A spokesperson says: “As a leader in the collision repair industry, The Autobody Source is committed to providing you with the latest information and solutions to help you stay ahead of the curve. Our team is excited to offer this report on waterborne paints, especially given its ever-widening adoption in the industry.”
