Emulsion paints are water-based paints that consist of tiny droplets of pigment suspended in a liquid medium. They are commonly used for interior and exterior walls due to their quick-drying properties and ease of application. Emulsion paints are available in various finishes, including matte, satin, and gloss, allowing for different aesthetic effects. These paints are known for their low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them more environmentally friendly compared to oil-based paints. Additionally, emulsion paints are easy to clean with soap and water, making maintenance simple and convenient for homeowners and professionals alike.
