oil-based
Made from petroleum
Oil-based describes products, paints, or substances that use oil as their primary solvent or binding agent rather than water.
Oil-based paints take longer to dry than latex or acrylic alternatives but often provide a harder, more durable finish.
The contractor recommended oil-based primer for the exterior trim.
Cleanup requires mineral spirits or turpentine rather than soap and water, and ventilation matters because of stronger fumes.
