Glossy Acrylic Paints

Glossy acrylic paints are a fast-drying material made from suspended particles mixed in an acrylic polymer emulsion.

It is believed that these types of paints appeared in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. The first water-based acrylic paints began to be sold as latex, used for painting the interior walls of rooms in homes.

Commercially, acrylic paints intended for artists appeared in 1950. Characteristically, glossy acrylic is water-based and can be diluted with water when necessary. It is made from artificial, synthetic resins, polyacrylates, which cause the pigment to adhere to them.

This allows the paint to dry quickly and be cleaned without solvents. Glossy acrylic paint gives paintings a finished look and a unique shine.

It is intended for painting on hard surfaces, with the only condition being that the base should not be greasy. This type of paint can be used on any surface. It can be used on glass, plastic, wood, metal, various cardboards, and more.

The advantage of this painting material is that it has excellent coverage and is resistant to washing with water as well as various weather influences.

Over time, the paint does not crack as happens with oil paints, for example. Another advantage is that it has absolutely no odor.
