Golden - GAC 100 Universal Acrylic Polymer Medium
GAC 100 Universal Acrylic Polymer Medium
Extend colors and boost paint flexibility while preventing discoloration
Golden formulates GAC 100 as their most versatile acrylic polymer, designed to function across multiple applications where standard mediums fall short. This thin, milky-white liquid extends colors without compromising film strength, maintaining paint integrity even at high dilution ratios. The polymer's low viscosity allows it to wet out dry pigments more effectively than thicker mediums, making it essential for artists who grind their own paints or need maximum pigment dispersion.
Beyond color extension, GAC 100 serves as an effective sizing for raw canvas and absorbent surfaces. Applied as a primer coat, it creates a barrier that prevents support-induced discoloration, that yellowing or darkening that occurs when acidic substrates interact with paint layers over time. The polymer penetrates fabric weave thoroughly while maintaining flexibility, so sized canvases resist cracking even when rolled or flexed.
Mix GAC 100 with acrylic colors to increase transparency and flow without losing binding strength. Use it to seal porous surfaces before painting, or thin it further as a final isolation coat. Artists working on unconventional supports, raw linen, wood panels, even paper, rely on this polymer to create stable painting surfaces that won't compromise their work years down the line.
