Liquitex Professional Bio-Based Matte Gel

Liquitex Bio-Based Heavy Acrylic marks a major step forward in sustainability. Unlike traditional acrylic mediums, which are made entirely from fossil fuel-derived ingredients, Liquitex reduced the use of these non-renewable substances by 50%, replacing them with renewable materials sourced from living or once-living organisms like corn, soy, sugarcane, and algae. These natural resources can be quickly replenished through farming or natural processes, offering a more eco-friendly alternative without compromising performance.

• Reduces surface shine, increases colour depth and transparency
• Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
• Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency
• Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks
• Primes rough exterior walls for gesso application before mural painting
  

How to use:

• Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% distilled water for optimal results.
• Blend as desired with acrylic colours to achieve your preferred viscosity and transparency, adding more will increase transparency.
• Combine with Heavy Body Acrylic to extend volume while preserving viscosity.
• Incorporate into Soft Body Acrylic or Acrylic Ink to enhance volume and thickness.
• It appears semi-opaque when wet and becomes transparent upon drying, when applied thickly, it may retain a semi-opaque finish.
