A planet-positive way to extend volume and thicken paint. while extending open time. Liquitex Bio-Based Gel Medium can also be used as a strong collaging adhesive.
Characteristics:
- Increases colour depth and transparency
- Increases viscosity of soft body paints. giving a thicker consistency
- Extends colour further without affecting acrylic stability
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.
