Fires cause casualties and huge property loss, so fire awareness has risen and fire-retardant coatings emerged - they decorate interior/exterior walls while providing fire resistance, with wear and scrub resistance. Fire coatings come in limited colors (gray, white, black, light yellow) because they are tinted by their synthetic base. Their main role is to cover combustible substrates and block contact with oxygen, lowering the flash point. Water-based paint is an eco product that can replace oil paint: water-diluted, based on acrylic and alkyd emulsions with imported additives through special process, it offers water/weather/corrosion resistance, easy application, easy renovation, non-toxic, odorless, low-carbon, a service life up to 20 years and good appearance. For example, stone-like (real-stone) paint is also a water-based coating that realistically mimics dry-hung stone at low cost per kg and large coverage, weighing only 1/16 of stone, eliminating safety hazards. Facing economic globalization, people worry growth sacrifices the environment, so developing new eco products to replace old ones is necessary.
