Water-Based Paints: A Splash of Sustainability in the Paint Industry

Have you ever stopped to think about what's actually in the paint that brings life to your walls? For the longest time, solvent-based paints were the go-to, but there's a noticeable shift towards sustainability and with that came water-based paints. In these times when we’re all trying to make more sustainable choices, water-based paints perfectly represent a move towards taking better care of our planet while still sprucing up our living spaces.

At Dulux, as a part of the sustainable paint industry, we're committed to providing these options to you that are as thoughtful about the environment as they are about delivering quality.

Why Water-Based Paints?

Water-based paints, as the name suggests, use water as their main solvent. This is a big change from the traditional solvent-based paints that use chemicals to do the job. The cool part? When water-based paints dry, the water evaporates, leaving the pigment and other components to do their colourful magic on your walls. This means fewer chemicals in the air, both during painting and after, making your home a safer and more pleasant place.

Our Commitment

Now, how Dulux is contributing to the sustainable paint industry? It's our four pillars of sustainability:

• Safe and Healthier Homes: We believe your home should be your safe space, free from nasty air pollutants. That's why our water-based paints are designed to be as gentle to the air in your house as they are to the environment.
  
  
• Protecting Your Home: Our paints are pretty and quite tough. They're made to last, keeping your walls looking great and cutting down the need for repaints. Less repainting means less environmental impact.
  
  
• Let’s Colour: It's not just about painting walls; it's about bringing life and joy to spaces. Our Let's Colour projects are all about adding a splash of sustainable colour to communities around the globe.
  
  
• Sustainable Paint Choices: Take our Dulux Better Living Air Clean Biobased as an example. With Pure Air Technology and ingredients like bamboo charcoal and tea tree oil, it's about making your indoor air cleaner and fresher.
