Page "Acrylic paint" Paragraph 4

Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden between 1946 and 1949 had invented a solution acrylic paint under the brand Magna paint.

A waterborne acrylic paint called " Aquatec " would soon follow.

Otto Rohm invented acrylic resin, which quickly transformed into acrylic paint.

Acrylics were first made commercially available in the 1950s.

These were mineral spirit-based paints called Magna.

In 1953, the year that Rohm and Haas developed the first acrylic emulsions, Jose L. Gutierrez produced Politec Acrylic Artists Colors in Mexico and Permanent Pigments Co of Cincinnati Ohio produced Liquitex colors.

These two product lines were the very first acrylic emulsion artists paints.

Water-based acrylic paints were subsequently sold as " latex " house paints, although acrylic dispersion uses no latex derived from a rubber tree.

Interior " latex " house paints tend to be a combination of binder ( sometimes acrylic, vinyl, pva, and others ), filler, pigment, and water.

Exterior " latex " house paints may also be a " co-polymer " blend, but the very best exterior water-based paints are 100 % acrylic, due to elasticity and others, but 100 percent acrylic resins cost double as much as vinyl and PVA ( polyvinyl acetate ) is even cheaper, so paint companies make many combinations of them to match the market.
