WaterBase
WaterBase-Premium Quality by Tricon
WaterBase” commonly refers to products that use water as the primary solvent or carrier instead of petroleum-based solvents. Water-based systems are widely adopted across paints, inks, coatings, cosmetics, adhesives, and textile printing due to their lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, reduced odor, safer handling profile, and easier cleanup. Compared to solvent-based alternatives, water-based formulations are considered more environmentally responsible and worker-friendly.
In paints, water-based (latex or acrylic) coatings are popular for residential and commercial use because they dry quickly, emit minimal fumes, and can be cleaned using soap and water. They offer good color retention, flexibility, and resistance to cracking. In printing, water-based inks are commonly used in textile and paper printing. These inks penetrate the substrate rather than sitting on top, resulting in a softer hand feel on garments. They are particularly preferred for eco-conscious apparel brands seeking breathable and lightweight prints.
In cosmetics, water-based formulations such as foundations, primers, and skincare gels use water as the dominant ingredient. These products are typically lightweight, easy to spread, and suitable for oily or sensitive skin types. Water-based adhesives and coatings are also used in packaging, construction, and woodworking industries.
Although water-based systems are generally safer, proper preservation is required to prevent microbial growth due to the high water content. Additives such as stabilizers, binders, and preservatives are carefully incorporated to enhance durability and shelf life. Production typically involves emulsification or dispersion of polymers and pigments in water under controlled mixing conditions. Overall, water-based technologies represent a sustainable shift toward lower environmental impact without compromising performance.
Water-based systems are available as paints, inks, coatings, adhesives, emulsions, dispersions, and cosmetic gels. In textiles, they are supplied as ready-to-use screen printing inks. In construction, they appear as acrylic emulsions or latex coatings. Cosmetic forms include gels and liquid foundations. Formulation varies based on viscosity, binder type, and end-use application.
Water-based systems are widely used in food processing as coating solutions, edible films, and beverage formulations. Water serves as a solvent for flavors, colorants, stabilizers, and preservatives. Food-grade water-based coatings are applied to fruits, confectionery, and pharmaceuticals. These systems ensure safety, low toxicity, and compliance with food regulations when formulated with approved ingredients.
In pharmaceuticals, water-based formulations are used in syrups, suspensions, topical gels, and coatings due to their biocompatibility and low toxicity. Industrially, water-based paints, adhesives, and inks reduce VOC emissions and improve workplace safety. They are commonly used in packaging, construction materials, textile printing, and paper coating industries.
Water-based systems are used in feed processing as binders, coating solutions, and nutrient carriers. Liquid supplements, probiotics, and enzyme preparations are often formulated in water-based media for uniform mixing and improved digestibility. These systems support safe delivery of nutrients while maintaining stability and reducing dust formation in feed production.
Water-based systems are typically low-odor, non-flammable, and easy to clean with water. Viscosity varies depending on polymer concentration and additives. They generally produce lower VOC emissions compared to solvent-based systems. However, microbial contamination must be controlled using preservatives. Proper storage in sealed containers prevents evaporation and maintains formulation stability.
Water-based formulations are produced by dispersing or emulsifying polymers, pigments, and additives into purified water using high-speed mixers or homogenizers. Stabilizers and preservatives are added to enhance shelf life. The mixture is filtered, quality tested for viscosity and pH, and packaged according to application requirements.
