    Water Based—Use water-based additives with water-based paint, such as latex and acrylic paint. One quart treats up to four gallons of paint.
    Solvent Based—Use solvent-based additives with oil- and solvent-based paint. One quart treats up to two gallons of paint. They cannot be sold to the listed areas due to VOC (volatile organic compounds) regulations.
