Paint is made from different ingredients, and some use solvents to dissolve these ingredients. Solvent- and oil-based paints give texture and color, but they are flammable paints. Flammable paints include alkyd, lacquer, and enamel paints that are solvent- or oil-based. Other paints are water-based and are generally not flammable. There are two types of water-based paints, which are latex and acrylic paints. Both of these are regarded as non-flammable. Bear in mind, however, that both oil- and water-based paints may contain certain pigments that can be hazardous.
