GAC 800 (Golden Acrylic Mediums)

GAC 800 #3980

Innovative For Artists!

GAC 800is a low-crazing extender for pouring acrylic colors. “Crazing” is the formation crevices in surfaces that develop as acrylic paints and mediums dry. The addition of GAC 800 promotes drying with a smooth, even film, good gloss and flexibility, but with moderate clarity. GAC 800 is also useful for adhesion to chalky surfaces.

AboutGolden Specialty Acrylic Polymers

GOLDEN GACSpecialty Acrylic Polymers(GAC, short forGoldenArtistColors) are based on 100% acrylic polymer emulsions. TheGAC’s are useful as mediums or modifiers of acrylic paints.GAC’scan be used to extend acrylic colors, to regulate transparency, create glazes, increase gloss, reduce viscosity or improve adhesion and film integrity.

GAC polymerscan also be used for binding pigment solids for various effects and surfaces. Unlike the other Golden Mediums and Gels, GAC Acrylic Polymers have only a minimum amount of thickeners, levelers, defoamers and surfactants to ensure good film formation.

The consistency of theGACpolymers is more fluid and thin than other Golden Mediums, so they will reduce the thickness of most Golden Acrylic Paints. GOLDEN Fluid Acrylics are slightly thicker than theGACs, but will exhibit less change in viscosity with the addition of aGACpolymer. Each GAC is a unique polymer with unique benefits and applications.
