1) Health & Planet Friendly

• Up to 90% lower VOCs—meets LEED v4 & GREENGUARD Gold.
• Non-flammable—no red-label storage fees.
• Soap-and-water cleanup—skip solvent disposal.

2) Richer Color Than Oil

• Water opens pores for deeper, more even stain penetration.
• Micronized pigments & nano-resins pop figure on maple, pine, walnut.
• Tint-on-site kits can match most Pantone targets in minutes.

3) Fast Dry Times & Pro Durability

• Touch-dry in 15–30 minutes; re-coat same day.
• KCMA-rated abrasion & chemical resistance.
• Formaldehyde-free & HAP-free formulas.

4) Zero-Hassle Transition for Pros

1. Fresh water rinse of lines and cups.
2. Use a 1.3 mm needle set (or a water-rated conversion kit).

Get solvent-like spray pattern and mil-build—without the 4-hour wait.

Bonus Benefits

• 50%+ bio-resin content may qualify for sustainable-build points.
• Low odor—finish inside occupied spaces.

FAQ

Are water-based finishes as durable as oil?
Yes—KCMA testing shows equal or better scratch, heat, and chemical resistance once cured.

Can I spray with my HVLP gun?
Yes—use a 1.3 mm needle and ~20–25 PSI at the cap (check your gun’s spec).

Do they yellow?
Water-white acrylics remain non-yellowing on maple, birch, and ash.

Key Takeaway

Modern water-based systems deliver pro-grade durability, richer color, and safer working conditions—while cutting total project time.
