A planet-positive way to give your paint a finish, while thinning and extending its volume. Liquitex Bio-Based Fluid Medium can also be used as a collaging adhesive and fixative.
Characteristics:
- Increases colour depth and transparency
- Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
- Extends colour further without affecting acrylic stability
- Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
What does bio-based mean?
The resin base of a typical pro acrylic paint is made from 100% petrol-derived ingredients sourced from fossil fuels and other non-renewable substances. For bio-based products, Liquitex halved this, replacing ingredients with ones from renewable, biological sources. These come from living or once-living organisms like corn, soy, sugarcane and algae which can be regrown or replenished relatively quickly through natural or farming processes.
For this range, every ingredient that has a bio-based alternative has been replaced and they’ve avoided any components or pigments derived from animals. As more bio-based ingredients become available, they’ll incorporate them.
