Retarder that keeps Chromacryl colour workable for longer

Chroma Chromacryl Retarder Medium 500ml is a pale blue liquid in a clear bottle, labelled Retarder.

The printed description says it slows the drying time of Chromacryl, keeping paint workable longer, especially in hot, dry conditions. The label adds that it reduces blockages and makes eventual cleaning of screens easier, and that it is useful in fine, detailed work. Art rooms in warm weather, screen-printing classes and students blending colours slowly are the obvious users.

Blending soft gradients becomes easier when colour stays open on the palette instead of skinning over. The directions give a precise ratio: add to Chromacryl acrylic paint at 1:10 parts by volume, which a teacher can measure out for each table to keep results consistent across a class.

Measure the retarder with a small cup so every table mixes the same ratio. Mix it into acrylic paints, keep palettes and pots from painting accessories close by, and look through other painting mediums for different effects.

FAQs

One 500ml bottle of Chromacryl Retarder with a white flip-top cap.
The label gives 1 part retarder to 10 parts Chromacryl acrylic paint by volume.
The label says it keeps paint workable longer, especially in hot, dry conditions, and helps with screen-printing and detailed work.
No. It says the retarder slows drying but prints no time figure, so we do not quote one.
