Linseed oil, appreciated for its siccativity, is the most used, as a grinding binder, to develop oil colors. It is also a necessary ingredient in the flour paint recipe.

Acrylic powder binder is a mixture of vinyl acetate and acrylic copolymer. It provides good adhesion, flexibility and water resistance to mortars containing hydraulic binders such as cement, gypsum or lime. It can be used for many applications (binder for artistic paintings, cementitious tile adhesive, thermal insulation system, flexible glue, repair mortar, etc).

This liquid acrylic binder with water is used to fix the pigments on a support. It is flexible and makes the support washable while keeping some porosity. It is also used as a replacement for a white paint, and makes it possible to obtain the hue of the powdered pigments, which is not the case with a white paint.

Used as an adjuvant in oil paint and wax, it is soluble in the aqueous phases and is diluted in the essence of turpentine.
