What are Acrylic Paints Made of?/Main Components

Acrylic paints don’t have a complex composition as they are made up of only three components:

Acrylic Pigments:

The pigment gives colour to the paint. Pigments are grainy solids ground into tiny particles which do not dissolve in paint; they instead remain suspended. The pigment can be natural, synthetic, organic or inorganic.

Acrylic Binder:

As the pigment does not dissolve in paint, a substance is needed to hold the pigment in place after the paint is dried. Binder does that job. Acrylic polymer is used as a binder in acrylic paints. It also forms a protective layer once the water has evaporated from the paint.

Acrylic Vehicle:

The Vehicle carries the pigment and binder. Water is the Vehicle that carries the binder and the pigment for acrylic paints. When water is combined with the binder, a polymeric emulsion is created. After the water is evaporated or absorbed, the paint makes a vivid polymer film full of coloured pigment particles.
