Categories Related to Oil Base Paints
Oil-based paints are paints that use organic solvents, such as thinner, and often include dry or non-drying oils instead of synthetic resins. This category also includes acrylic paints used in artwork. They are distinct from water-based paints, where water evaporates during drying, as opposed to the organic solvents in oil-based paints.
Oil-based paints are known for their durability and finish quality, making them suitable for roofing, exterior walls, car bodies, ships, and indoor areas requiring high durability like flooring. They are also used on metals and other materials that are not compatible with water-based paints due to their high adhesion and versatility.
