Latex paint

Latex paint is a water-based type of paint commonly used for walls and ceilings. It contains pigments suspended in a latex, or rubber-like, binder that helps the paint adhere well and dry quickly. Because it's water-based, it has minimal odor, cleans up easily with soap and water, and tends to be more environmentally friendly than oil-based paints. Latex paint offers good durability, vibrant color retention, and flexibility, making it suitable for interior and exterior surfaces. It is popular for its ease of use, fast drying time, and low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions.
