How Does Water-Based Pigment Work With Acrylic Resin?

Water-based pigments are a popular choice for artists working with acrylic resin. These pigments also minimise the need for sanding after casting, making the process more efficient and user-friendly. Due to their compatibility and ease of use. Acrylic resin, being a water-soluble medium. Can easily be mixed with water-based pigments. Without compromising its consistency or drying time. These pigments typically come in liquid form and are made up of finely ground particles suspended in water. When added to acrylic resin. The pigment particles disperse evenly throughout the mixture, creating vibrant and opaque colours. The amount of pigment used can also affect the opacity and intensity of colour achieved. Unlike oil-based or solvent-based pigments. Which require specific mediums for blending and diluting. Water based pigments can be easily thinned out with just plain water. These types of pigments tend to dry quickly when applied to an absorbent surface. Such as canvas or paper. This makes them ideal for creating layered effects. Building up multiple shades within one painting session.

What is eco casting resin?

Eco resin, also known as acrylic resin, is a versatile and environmentally friendly substance that has gained popularity in recent years. Our stock of eco resin products is readily available, ensuring you have access to the materials you need for your projects. Its ingredients consist of a mineral powder base, typically made from gypsum or plaster of Paris, combined with a water-based acrylic liquid. While curing with water alone may not result in the strongest finish, when paired with acrylic resin, it becomes significantly more durable. The liquid acts as a binding agent to join all the elements of eco resin powder together. This produces an opaque white to off-white appearance with either a semi-gloss or glossy finish. It is important to note that this is not the same as epoxy resin. As such, it serves as an excellent alternative for artists, craftsmen, and DIY enthusiasts seeking an alternative to traditional resins.
