Latex Paint weighs 1.35 kg per litre. Convert litres to kilograms (and back) using its exact density.
Quick Metrology Summary
1 liter of Latex Paint weighs approximately 1.35 kilograms (or 1350 grams) at standard room temperature. Because mass equals volume multiplied by density (\(m = V \times \rho\)), multiplying volume in liters by 1.35 gives the exact mass in kg.
Latex Paint: Weight per Litre Explained
Latex Paint has a density of 1.35 kg/L, which makes it 35% heavier than water. Latex (acrylic emulsion) paint contains pigment and fillers, which makes it heavier than water at about 1.35 kg/L.

How to Convert Liters of Latex Paint to Kilograms
Latex (acrylic emulsion) paint contains pigment and fillers, which makes it heavier than water at about 1.35 kg/L. To convert, multiply the volume in litres by 1.35. To go the other way, divide the weight in kilograms by 1.35.
kg = Litres × 1.35
L = kg ÷ 1.35
1 L → 1.35 kg
10 L → 13.5 kg
100 L → 135 kgExample
Convert 5 litres of latex paint to kilograms: 5 × 1.35 = 6.75 kg, or 14.88 lb. Reversed: 6.75 kg ÷ 1.35 = 5 L.
Worked examples
| Scenario | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 L of latex paint | 1 × 1.35 kg/L | 1.35 kg |
| 5 L of latex paint | 5 × 1.35 kg/L | 6.75 kg |
| 20 L of latex paint | 20 × 1.35 kg/L | 27 kg |
| 100 L of latex paint | 100 × 1.35 kg/L | 135 kg |
| 10 kg of latex paint (reverse) | 10 ÷ 1.35 kg/L | 7.41 L |
