Water-based emulsion paints and solvent-based paints including aliphatic organic solvent were evaluated by the outdoor exposure test at Florida state in USA for three years. Solvent type of paints which include aromatic organic compounds were also evaluated for comparison. Measurement of gloss retention and color difference was performed every third month. It was found that some water-based paints were as durable as the corresponding organic solvent type of paints including aromatic solvent. Therefore, it is possible to obtain water-based emulsion patints as durable as organic solvent type of paints.
