solvent-based
Requires mineral spirits
Solvent-based describes products—typically paints, adhesives, and coatings—that use chemical solvents rather than water as the liquid carrier.
As the product dries, the solvent evaporates, leaving the active material behind.
Solvent-based formulas often provide stronger adhesion and durability but release volatile organic compounds: Solvent-based paints require good ventilation.
