Golden Acrylic Flow Release 8 Oz. image 1
Item: 1719269
Model: 40788

Acrylic Flow Release is a surfactant-a concentrated surface-active liquid which reduces surface tension, thus improving wetting and increasing the flow of acrylic waterborne paints. Surfactants are used to "wet out" pigments to ease their introduction into an acrylic resin, medium or gel. They can also be added to thinner paint mixtures, such as stains, to help reduce surface tension. Acrylic Flow Release is very useful for staining techniques, as it dramatically reduces the surface tension between t he stain (paint/water) and the support. Certain supports, especially raw canvas, are inherently water repelling in nature and require the use of such a surface-active agent to allow the stain to wet and penetrate into the support. Golden Acrylic Flow Re lease also improves flow for brushing acrylic paints. This allows for improved leveling, and reduces bead up due to surface tension..Reduces surface tension, thus improving wetting and increasing the flow of acrylic waterborne paints.Surfactants are used to "wet out" pigments to ease their introduction into an acrylic resin, medium or gel.Can also be added to thinner paint mixtures, such as stains, to help reduce surface tension.Very useful for staining techniques; dramatically reduces the surface tension between the stain (paint/water) and the support.Certain supports, especially raw canvas, are inherently water repelling in nature and require the use of such a surface-active agent to allow the stain to wet and penetrate into the support.Golden Acrylic Flow Release also improves flow for brushing acrylic paints allowing for improved leveling, and reduced bead up due to surface tension.Size: 8 oz..Surfactants are used to "wet out" pigments to ease their introduction into an acrylic resin, medium or gel

About Acrylic Paint Extender

Acrylic paint extender is a versatile medium designed to enhance the performance and workability of acrylic paints. It allows artists to modify the paint's consistency, drying time, and finish, enabling a wide range of creative techniques and applications.

Using an acrylic paint extender can help achieve smoother blends, improve flow, and increase transparency, making it an essential tool for both beginners and experienced artists. This medium is particularly useful for techniques such as glazing, layering, and creating texture in artwork.

When choosing an acrylic paint extender, consider factors such as the desired finish—matte or glossy—and the specific effects you want to achieve. Many extenders are formulated to maintain the paint's color integrity while providing additional working time, which is crucial for detailed applications.

Additionally, look for extenders that offer flexibility in mixing with other mediums, as this can expand your creative possibilities. Some extenders also enhance the paint's adhesion and durability, making them suitable for various surfaces and artistic styles.
