Water-based resin is a type of resin that uses water as its primary solvent instead of traditional organic solvents like alcohol or acetone. This type of resin is often used as a more environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based resins, as it has lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and is easier to clean up. Water-based resin can be used for a variety of applications, including coatings, adhesives, and sealants. It is typically used on porous surfaces like wood, concrete, or fabric, as the water in the resin helps it penetrate and bond with the material. Water-based resin can also be mixed with pigments or dyes to create colored finishes.
