What are emulsion paints?

Emulsions are water-based paints in which pigments and binders are dispersed in water as the primary solvent. Also known as acrylic or latex paints, emulsions are easy to apply, low in odor, and dry relatively quickly. Emulsion paints are widely used for interior and exterior walls because they offer good durability, smooth finish, and better resistance to cracking and peeling. They are available in various finishes such as matte, satin, and semi-gloss, making them a versatile choice for residential and commercial painting projects.
