There are good reasons why ointments are oil based rather than water based. A water based ointment would wash away too easily. An oil based ointment stays put. A water based ointment could be washed away by sweat, where oil would remain.
Yes you can. You can use either oil based or a water based. I prefer a water based myself.
Oil-based poly varnish is thinned with mineral spirits. Water-based poly varnish is thinned with water. And polyurethane car paint is thinned with reducer.
There is no water based solvent to dissolve oil based paint.
if it is water based, then water, if it is oil based, mineral spirits
Spirit based is oil based and oil and water don't mix. Use paint thinner or mineral spirits.
Creams are an O/W (oil in water) emulsion. Creams contain a small amount of oil dispersed in water. Most creams are "vanishing." They do not show once applied and are more cosmetically acceptable to most patients. Ointments are an W/O (water in oil) emulsion. Ointments are considered semisolid. Examples of bases used in ointments are: OLEAGINOUS or greasy based made from hydrocarbons such as in mineral oil or petroleum jelly. Other examples of W/O emulsions are lanolin or cold cream
Classified according to the ointment bases 1. Oleaginous bases ointments eg: hydrocarbon bases like soft & hard paraffin, ceresine, animal & vegitable oil bases 2. Absorption bases eg: beeswax, woolfat 3. Water soluable bases eg: macrogols 4. Emulsifying bases eg: emulsifying wax
Ointments are petroleum based - thus the slightly greasy feeling. Creams are water based. As for which is appropriate for usage - I go by this rule. Creams tend to dry out the area on which they are used (which are great for things like acne, etc). Ointments will hydrate the skin more - so if the skin is dry to begin with (not oily), then ointment is your best bet. You should be able to get both the ointment and cream in the same strength (% solution). Hope this helps.
Is the paint you're using water-based or oil-based?
The polyurethane being used is either oil-based or water-based.
Yes you can. You can use either oil based or a water based. I prefer a water based myself.
No, latex paint is water-based, not oil-based.
Yes. Clean and degloss the oil based paint, apply an oil based primer, then apply the water based paint.
No, acrylic paint is not oil-based. It is water-based and dries quickly to a water-resistant finish.
It will protect the paint as long as you use a water based varnish, never use oil based varnish over water based paint. Tip: "water based enamel= water based finish". "oil based enamel= oil based finish".
Acrylic paint is water-based, not oil-based or latex-based.
Water-based products use water as a solvent, while oil-based products use oil. Water-based products are typically easier to clean up and have a faster drying time, while oil-based products provide a more durable finish and better adhesion to surfaces.
