Product introduction
Brand introduction
GAC (short for Golden Artist Colors) is made from special Acrylic Polymer resin based on 100% acrylic polymer emulsion. GAC is a very useful solvent or modifier for acrylic colors.
Can be used to thin acrylic colors, adjust clarity, create a smooth layer, increase gloss, reduce viscosity or improve adhesion and film integrity of colors. GAC can also be used to bond color pigment particles for different effects and finishes.
Unlike other solvents and GOLDEN Gels, GAC only has minimal amounts of thickeners, leveling agents, defoamers and surfactants to ensure good film formation.
GAC is thinner and thinner than other solvents, so it will reduce the thickness of most acrylic colors.
Can be used with all types of acrylic.
