Latex paints are water-based while acrylics contain chemicals. This gives latex paint the advantage of being able to wash off very easily from surfaces and your paintbrushes.
Latex is commonly used for covering larger areas as it is sold in bigger quantities than acrylics usually are. Another advantage latex paints is that they generally do not have an odor.
Aside from the low odor and low toxicity, latex paints are wonderful indoor paint options as they tend to maintain their colors over time and resists chalking.
These paints can be used on paper, wood, canvas, plaster, ceramics, and more! Making them an ideal medium for DIY jobs around the home or upcycling furniture.
An acrylic resin is added to this latex paint to give it the best possible adhesion and durability qualities. Other paints do not offer this quality, and this is why they tend to peel and crack on outdoor surfaces.
As we have seen this range of paints is the best of both worlds. They are also environmentally friendly being free of chemical solvents, unlike normal latex paints.
