Liquitex Bio-Based Heavy Acrylic marks a major step forward in sustainability. Unlike traditional acrylic mediums, which are made entirely from fossil fuel-derived ingredients, Liquitex reduced the use of these non-renewable substances by 50%, replacing them with renewable materials sourced from living or once-living organisms like corn, soy, sugarcane, and algae. These natural resources can be quickly replenished through farming or natural processes, offering a more eco-friendly alternative without compromising performance.
- Reduces surface shine, increases colour depth and transparency
- Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
- Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency
- Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks
- Primes rough exterior walls for gesso application before mural painting
How to use:
- Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% distilled water for optimal results.
- Blend as desired with acrylic colours to achieve your preferred viscosity and transparency, adding more will increase transparency.
- Combine with Heavy Body Acrylic to extend volume while preserving viscosity.
- Incorporate into Soft Body Acrylic or Acrylic Ink to enhance volume and thickness.
- It appears semi-opaque when wet and becomes transparent upon drying, when applied thickly, it may retain a semi-opaque finish.
