Why does dulux satinwood acrylic paint smell so bad?

Dulux Satinwood acrylic paint may emit a strong odor due to the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals used in its formulation. While acrylic paints generally have lower VOC levels compared to oil-based paints, the specific combination of ingredients can still produce noticeable smells during application and drying. Proper ventilation and using masks can help mitigate the odor while painting. Over time, the smell typically dissipates as the paint cures.
