What is the temperature and humidity range normally recommended with waterborne acrylic coatings?
The best temperature range for use of waterborne acrylics is between about 60° F and 90° F, although painting at temperatures as low as 45° F can be done. Most manufacturers recommend temperature ranges of about 45 to 110° F. Painting at very high relative humidity (>90%) can lead to significantly slower drying times. Usually it is recommended to paint when the humidity is less than 85-90%, and the temperature is at least 5 degrees above the dew point to prevent condensation. Painting under conditions outside of the manufacturer’s recommendations can lead to problems with film formation and eventually performance.
