Eastman coalescents enable maximum film formation in latex paints, often improving overall paint performance. Coalescent works by softening the latex particles, allowing them to fuse into a tough, continuous film. Common coalescents include ester alcohols, esters, and glycol ethers.

Binder is the main ingredient of paints. Binders are polymers (resins) forming a continuous film on the substrate surface. Binders are responsible for good adhesion of the coating to the substrate. The binder holds the pigment particles distributed throughout the coating.

Eastman Texanol™ ester alcohol provides the highest level of film integrity at low levels of coalescent, enhancing the performance properties of the paint including low temperature coalescence, touch-up, scrub resistance, washability, color development, thermal flexibility, and resistance to mudcracking.

FORMALIN AND AMMONIA: These chemicals are very corrosive and they serve the same function. they are preservative, they prevent the paint from decaying and increase the paint durability. they increase the paint viscosity i.e it’s a thickener and also increases paint durability.

Using your second paint brush, paint the statue with the acrylic paint. Spray the statue with the can of varnish to add a shine to your statue, then display it.

Use acrylic latex paint on concrete statues. For concrete statuary, water-based acrylic latex paints are recommended for their ability to soak into the concrete and stain it beyond its surface. Acrylic latex paints also don’t dry and crack like a shell over time, like oil-based paint does.

Sanding. The sculpture may be sanded with wet/dry sandpaper or an oscillating grinder with a diamond grinder pad. You can also use a rotary tool with sanding accessories suited for concrete. During sanding, move the sandpaper, grinder or rotary tool tip back and forth in a smooth motion.
