Acrylic paint?


Question:Why is acrylic paint semi-permanent? What's in it that makes it so?

Answers:
It is the acrylic (a synthetic polymer) that gives it its permanence. Paint pigments are suspended in a binder, which then evaporates or dries and leaves the color.
Oil-based is more permanent but can't be used in some parts of the country due to its impact on the environment.


i think its in the pigments... i use alot of acrylic paint in my art and also decorating in a house..i lvoe it as it dries fast..if ya get it on clothing its permanent and i use t to stencil on curtains sheets etc. paper and other projects i have to apply a sealer to
but its in the pigments the paint is made of
its water based thats why
theres pigment in evry paint but it depends on what the base is that its mixed with, try a oil base paint if u want somthing more permanent
