MSA Colors
Mineral Spirit-borne Acrylic Color -- Professional Use Only
Pigment Identification Chart

GOLDEN MSA Colors are produced with a Mineral Spirit-borne Acrylic resin system. They dry quickly to form very durable films with excellent chemical resistance to acids/alkalis, water, and ultraviolet rays. All of the pigments in GOLDEN Acrylics are chosen for the greatest clarity & permanency within each chemical class.

MSA Colors remain soluble in mineral spirits, making them ideal for easy removal without disturbing the layers of paint underneath. For this reason, they are beneficial in art conservation for inpainting techniques.

Because these paints are resoluble in mineral spirits, an additional paint layer can begin to re-solublize the previous MSA film underneath it. If this becomes a problem, such as when applications require more brushing out or blending, it will become necessary to apply isolation layers between the coats. When applying multiple layers, use of GOLDEN Polymer Varnish as an isolation coat is beneficial. This is a water-based varnish that is removed with an alkaline solution such as ammonia. Although the Polymer Varnish is water-based, the MSA Colors and MSA Varnishes are soft enough to allow for adequate adhesion. This will also allow for controlled removal of layers, as the layers underneath it will remain intact until the coat of Polymer Varnish is also removed.

"Professional Use Only" Products may only ordered from your Golden Artist Colors, Inc. dealer with the understanding that they will not be used in households or resold for use therein.
