Frequently Asked Questions About Acrylic Paint
Is acrylic paint sustainable?
Conventional acrylic paint contains petroleum-based plastic resins that never fully biodegrade and release microplastics. Our Natural Acrylik™ paint uses renewable plant resins instead, significantly reducing environmental impact while maintaining professional performance. Artists looking for sustainable supply options will find our products perfectly suited to their practice.
What makes Natural Acrylik™ different from conventional acrylic paint?
Natural Acrylik™ replaces petroleum-based plastic with plant-based resins while eliminating harmful additives like formaldehyde, phthalates, and synthetic preservatives. It's manufactured in solar-powered facilities with sustainable packaging, creating a truly eco-friendly alternative that's safe for use around children.
Does plant-based acrylic paint perform like traditional acrylics?
Yes! Natural Acrylik™ dries to a flexible, water-resistant finish in 10-40 minutes. It can be used for all conventional acrylic techniques, including glazing, layering, and impasto effects. Artists consistently report performance comparable to petroleum-based alternatives when using acrylic paint for fine art pieces.
Are Natural Acrylik paints archival quality?
Absolutely. Our paints use lightfast pigments rated I or II on the ASTM scale. Accelerated aging tests show no clouding, yellowing, or degradation. The plant-based resin provides excellent adhesion and flexibility, ensuring your artwork maintains its integrity for generations. Try our heavy body paint for artwork that will last.
What surfaces work best with plant-based acrylic paint?
Natural Acrylik™ works beautifully on primed canvas, paper, wood, fabric, and properly prepared metal surfaces. For optimal results, we recommend preparing surfaces with our Eco Gesso Kit for a completely non-toxic painting system. It's also great for face and body paint applications when you need safe, non-toxic options.
