What are differences between water-based paint and latex paint?

With the development of technology, water-based paints are getting more and more attention from the society. What are the advantages of water-based paints in daily life compared with other paints? Let's take a look. 

Any paint which uses the water as the solvent or dispersion medium can be called water-based paint, including water-soluble paint, water-dilutable paint and water-dispersible paint (latex paint). 

The latex paint, also known as synthetic resin emulsion coating, is a kind of organic coating, which is a kind of water-based coatings prepared by adding pigment, filler and various additives into the synthetic resin emulsion. The latex paint is one kind of water-based paints only . And the water-based paint covers a wider range, including metal paint and wood paint. 

The latex paint, also known as synthetic resin emulsion coating, is a kind of organic coating, which is a kind of water-based coatings prepared by adding pigment, filler and various additives into the synthetic resin emulsion. The latex paint is one kind of water-based paints only . And the water-based paint covers a wider range, including metal paint and wood paint. 

You can use the following equation to easily understand the relationship between these paints if you still are not very clear about it. 

Coating = oil paint+water-based paint+powder coating
