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.
- Increases surface gloss, colour depth and transparency
- Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
- Gives heavy body paint and oil-like brilliance
- Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency
- Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks
How to use:
- Mix with acrylic colours to achieve your desired viscosity and transparency. The more you add, the more transparent your colours will become.
- Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water – distilled water is recommended
- Mix into Heavy Acrylic or Heavy Body Acrylic to extend volume and maintain viscosity
- Mix into Soft Body or Acrylic Ink to extend volume and thicken
- Semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry – when used very thickly it may dry semi-opaque
