What is waterborne (water-based) paint?

Waterborne paint is paint that uses water as the primary solvent, and is an effective solution for lowering VOC emissions and improving air quality. Waterborne paint has been around for more than a decade and has been used widely in Europe for many years. Most of today’s newer cars are sprayed with waterborne paints at the factory, too.

Trubilt Collision Center uses DuPont ™ Cromax® Pro waterborne paint. Traditional automotive base coats contain 6.2 pounds of solvent per gallon, while DuPont ™ Cromax® Pro reduces its use of solvents nearly 50%.

DuPont's research has proven that waterborne finishes can deliver environmentally compliant products without compromising performance, price or productivity. The new paints were introduced in California in March 2007.
