Specialty Mediums

Acrylic Modifier for Plaster
Acrylic Modifier for Plaster is a 100% acrylic polymer emulsion designed to be added to gypsum (plaster) to increase the chip-resistance quality of the casting. It increases scratch resistance while maintaining the high tensile strength of the gypsum. It does not shorten the setting time, and should have no detrimental effects of the workability of the plaster slurry.

Porcelain Restoration Glaze
GOLDEN Porcelain Restoration Glaze is a reversible, water-based coating which is made in Gloss and Matte finishes. It is used to repair fine porcelain objects, such as dishes, figurines and dolls. It is intended for repairing non-functional objects only. It is not intended for use on items which may be washed or holding food.

Additives

Universal Dispersant
Universal Dispersant provides improved dispersion and stability for a variety of pigments and extenders in waterborne acrylic paints. Typically, pigments have an inherent repulsion to water, making them difficult to blend. Universal Dispersant contains surfactants which are capable of wetting and stabilizing pigment surfaces. This allows for ease of mixing and greater color development from pigments in waterborne systems.

Liquid Thickener (Long Rheology)
Liquid Thickener (Long Rheology) is an alkali-swellable polymer that is designed to thicken waterborne acrylic products and impart a long, stringy, resinous consistency. Its thickening potential and stability are pH sensitive, and the thickened system must remain alkaline (pH 8.0-9.5), which is characterized by a slight ammonia odor.

Liquid Thickener (Short Rheology)
Liquid Thickener (Short Rheology) is an alkali-swellable polymer that is designed to thicken waterborne acrylic products and impart a short, buttery consistency. Its thickening potential and stability are pH sensitive, and the thickened system must remain alkaline (pH 8.0-9.5), which is characterized by a slight ammonia odor.

Defoamer for Fluid Acrylics
Defoamer for Fluid Acrylics is a petroleum derived product that aids in decreasing foam production in fluid acrylic mediums or paint mixtures. Most useful for artists formulating their own paints. The defoamer level has already been maximized in Golden Acrylic paints, and any additional amount will result in surface defects (craters, orange peel, etc.) and can interfere with intercoat adhesion.

Defoamer for Heavy Body Acrylics
Defoamer for Heavy Body Acrylics is a petroleum derived product that aids in decreasing foam production in heavy body paint and mediums. The defoamer level has already been maximized in Golden Acrylic paints, and any additional amount will result in surface defects (craters, orange peel, etc.) and can interfere with intercoat adhesion.
