Water-borne industrial coatings use water instead of organic solvents as the dispersion medium, with VOC content usually far lower than solvent-borne products. With tightening environmental regulations and rising workshop occupational health requirements, they are increasingly the compliant choice for coating projects. Mainstream systems include water-borne epoxy (adhesion and anticorrosion close to solvent-borne, used for primers and intermediate coats), water-borne acrylic (fast drying, used for topcoats and maintenance) and water-borne polyurethane (weathering close to solvent-borne polyurethane, used for topcoats). In use, note several differences from solvent-borne: more sensitive to substrate cleanliness (oil affects wetting and spreading); application temperature generally required above 5 °C with an upper relative humidity limit; flash rust is a special problem of water-borne coatings on steel substrates, requiring a dedicated anti-flash-rust primer or inhibitor. This page summarises the original technical data of water-borne industrial coatings from various brands.

This page compiles original-factory technical data sheets by tag. The same model may appear under several tags at once (for example, a water-borne epoxy primer belongs to "water-borne", "epoxy" and "primer"), the more entry points a model has, the more easily it is found by search habits.
