PRIMAL™ AC-2337 Pure Acrylic Emulsion Polymer

Innovative aqueous, all-acrylic binder designed for the formulation of exterior house paints in the European climate. Builds on the legacy of proven great performance and durability properties of PRIMAL&#; AC-337 and is very similar, both compositionally and morphologically. While maintaining the proven benefits of PRIMAL&#; AC-337 has additional functionality to enhance Dirt Pick-Up Resistance, and hence contributes to superior gloss and colour retention. Excellent balance of water resistance and mechanical properties, providing long lasting wood protection against the effects of weathering damage.

Acrylics should never be thinned with more than 25% water. Why? Too much water will upset the balance and spread the acrylic polymer too thinly so the molecules can't reconnect properly to form a stable film. Instead you should dilute with an acrylic medium, which is essentially the same as the paint but without the color pigment. This way you are adding more of the acrylic/water emulsion to keep the formula and film stable.

When wet, an acrylic/water emulsion has a slightly milky appearance and becomes transparent as the paint dries. This milkyness slightly lightens the value of the color. As water leaves the emulsion, and the binder clarifies, the value of the color darkens. This color change is commonly called the wet-to-dry color shift and is most noticeable with dark transparent pigments like alizarin and less noticeable with light opaque pigments like cadmium yellow. Our inhouse chemists are at the forefront of acrylic technology and use the latest acrylic resins available for Liquitex materials, providing you with the best wet clarity possible.

Acrylic paint films aren't keen on the extreme cold, so don't attempt to roll, unroll or flex acrylic paintings in temperatures below 45ºF as they will be more brittle.
