What is the difference between waterborne and solvent-based traffic paint?

Waterborne traffic paint uses water as the primary carrier, while solvent-based traffic paint uses chemical solvents. Waterborne products are often selected for lower VOC requirements, easier cleanup, and projects where environmental considerations are important. Solvent-based products may be preferred for faster drying in certain conditions, strong adhesion, or applications where waterborne coatings are not the best fit.
