Golden Acrylic GAC Specialty Polymers
GAC SPECIALTY POLYMER ACRYLIC MEDIUMS

GAC-100

A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion useful for diluting and extending colours as well as increasing flexibility and film integrity. Wets out solids more readily than other polymers and is useful for creating homemade paints. The best Support Induced Discoloration-blocker we make.

GAC-200

A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion that is the hardest and least flexible of Golden acrylics. Useful for increasing film hardness

and reducing tack. Increases adhesion to non-porous surfaces, such as glass. Used in its pure form, it is limited to applications on non-flexible supports. Generally recommend a maximum level of GAC-200 be 75% of the entire paint mixture. Great for increasing durability of Golden Acrylic Paints for mural use.

GAC-400

A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion which dries to a hard, stiff film. When applied over a fabric support, such as cotton, linen or silk, the GAC 400 will serve to dramatically stiffen the support. This allows the artist to transform a lightweight fabric into a free-standing form that will hold its shape. If laundering stability is essential, the polymer can be heat-set.

GAC-500

A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion with levelling ability, that forms a hard, glossy film. Useful for increasing film hardness and reducing tack, while maintaining flexibility. The hardest polymer that is suitable for flexible supports.

GAC-700

A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion that offers excellent film clarity and gloss. Excellent for sealing various supports to protect against Support Induced Discoloration. Useful for glaze applications, but care needs to be exercised to avoid foaming. Offers reduced shrinkage.

GAC-800

A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion that does not craze in pours/puddles. That is to say that it dries with the same uniform surface and dimensional integrity as when wet (other GACs will craze, developing shrinkage crevices running across the surface). Dries with good gloss and flexibility, but only moderate clarity. Useful to increase adhesion to chalky surfaces.

GAC-900

A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion which when heat-set offers a very soft hand and laundering stability. This product is most useful to artists painting on clothing. GAC 900 can be blended with various acrylic colours to produce fabric paints that can be airbrush, hand brush or screen applied.
