Why water-based paint is best for the environment (3)

Dulux Quick Dry water-based paint helps take the hard work out of decorating. But did you know its impact on the environment is significantly lower than that of solvent-based paint?

It’s self-undercoating, low-odour and keeps its long-lasting whiteness. With Dulux Quick Dry water-based paint, you’re not just making a smart choice for your home; you’re also helping to do your bit for the environment.

At Dulux, we take sustainability seriously, which is why we have a bold ambition to radically reduce VOC emissions across our product portfolio. To do this, we’re switching from solvent-based to water-based paint wherever possible.

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are solvents which readily evaporate, contributing to the formation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They increase a product’s environmental impact and are found in higher levels in solvent-based paints.
