3. What we suggest for you based on different conditions
3.1 Low-polarity system
Low polarity systems typically contain low polarity solvents, resins, and other additives.
These systems often use low polarity solvents (like alkanes or aromatic solvents) and resins. Low polarity resins may include certain types of polyurethanes, epoxy resins, etc.

3.4 Water based system
Resins:
Water-based paints use various types of resins, which provide different performance characteristics to meet various application needs. Here are some common types of resins used in water-based paints:
- Acrylic Resins: These are one of the most common types of resins used in water-based paints. Acrylic resins offer excellent weather resistance, adhesion, and water resistance. They are suitable for both interior and exterior coatings as well as decorative paints.
- Vinyl Acetate-Ethylene (VAE) Copolymers: VAE resins are typically used in interior water-based paints. They provide good abrasion resistance and adhesion, making them a common choice for interior wall paints.
- Styrene-Acrylic Resins: This resin type combines the properties of styrene and acrylic acid, offering good adhesion and chemical stability. They are commonly used in both decorative and functional water-based paints.
- Polyurethane Resins: Polyurethane resins are used in water-based paints to provide excellent wear resistance and chemical resistance. They are often used in wood coatings and floor paints.
- Acrylic Emulsions: These are water-based resin emulsions suitable for various coating applications. They provide outstanding weather resistance and water resistance.
- Polymer Emulsions: Polymer emulsions can include acrylic emulsions, vinyl emulsions, and others, used to manufacture various types of water-based paints, from wall paints to industrial coatings.
- Silicone Resins: Silicone resins are used in water-based paints to provide high-temperature resistance and chemical
