External Render coatings

Camelina

Which is better to use on render, water borne or solvent borne coatings?
From my limited research it appears that water borne is more flexible, solvent borne are durable but inflexible and could possibly hinder water passage from the inside out(?)

Which have you got and how do you rate it?

New manufacturing regs are stopping all solvent based paints in the future. Water Based Acrylic is best, serach out Iso-paint Nordic or similar nanotechnology coatings. Spray, roll or brush applied,if its a big area consider hiring a Graco airless sprayer.
This is the same product as used by the expensive direct sales companies who charge '0000'sfor their service.

Thanks for the reply I know that from 2011 that they had to comply with new legislation and as long as it does then currently it can still be sold.
I have looked at what the rip off companies use but again it seems to be a mix. several of them using pliolite (solvent based).

Citation please. If you are talking about 2010 VOC Regulations then I have to say you are wrong.
