Acrilino Glaze is a new water-based glaze developed in accordance with European standards.
In collaboration with teachers and painters / decorators, this product was developed in 2018 and has been extensively tested in the "field" - both for training and for projects, such as wood imitations, marble imitations and other decorative techniques.
The water glazes commercially available to date do not fully meet the requirements of the professional painter and do not generally meet the requirements of the maximum European VOC values (amount of solvent allowed).
The goal:
The objective was to develop a glaze with the properties of an oily product but with the advantages of a water-based product.
The glaze is like an oil and can be easily softened with a badger brush - preferably synthetic.
Transparent techniques are easy to apply, layer after layer, with the 'open time' required to work at ease.
The glaze can be handled in a pleasant way and can be mixed with all water-based paints, traditional water-based paints (acrylics, latex, pu acrylics ...) and dry pigments . Mixing with dry pigments results in the longest open time.
The glaze does not yellow.
The composition of the glaze complies with the directive of less than 200 g / VOC per liter required by the EU and the requirements for health and safety at work.
The glaze is odourless.
Acrilino is an acrylic product with oily properties. The name Acrilino says it all: 'Acril' is derived from acrylics and 'Lino' from linseed oil.
Acrilino is applied using brushes designed for acrylic techniques
In the Acrilino range, we now also have available - newly developed - a synthetic badger softening brush and a set of excellent long haired brushes for veining using a mixture of toray hair and squirrel for a better paint capacity.
Another new product in the range : Acrilino RETARDER SD. This retarder can be added to the Acrilino glaze to slow down the drying and increase the open time : 10% increases the open time with factor 1.5. 20% addition doubles the open time. Do not use more than 20% retarder.
Acrilino was officially introduced during the Salon for Decorative Painters 2019 in Chamonix France.
Our school—Ideefiks vzw in Antwerp Belgium—organizes initiation weekends 2 times a year to learn how to work with Acrilino.For more information, visit our website for courses and trainings:
