As you know, water-dispersed type paints can be successfully applied on a variety of surfaces. At the same time, on the modern market for goods for creativity, individual varieties of color are specially designed for easy and convenient application on certain materials. For example, special paints on glass and ceramics made on the basis of acrylic. Such coloring substances are intended for organizing the painting of objects made of glass, porcelain (ordinary and bone), ceramics, faience and the like. In addition, they can also be used for painting various plastic surfaces, for example, polystyrene or plexiglass.
Acrylic paints on glass are able to easily withstand the intense
radiation of ultraviolet rays, mix well with any other colors and keep their purity well, being in a mixed state. In this case, we should only make a reservation that to obtain the best compatibility, experts in the field of applied creativity recommend the use of dyes of the same series and brand.
Acrylic paints for glass are also very resistant to water, and therefore when applied to ceramic or glass surfaces, you can not worry about the fact that the paint will leak or fade over time as a result of wet cleaning and exposure to detergents.
The coating adheres perfectly to the surface and fastens with it rather quickly; for its fixation, it will not be necessary to perform any additional actions, for example, firing. In order to get a high-quality acrylic coating as a result, it is enough to apply only two layers of paint on the glass. At the same time, a “breathable” and rather elastic film is formed on the surface, characterized by excellent vapor permeability. This property makes it possible to use acrylic paints on glass to finish a variety of mineral surfaces.
When working with acrylic-based materials, it is important not to forget about the elementary rules for their use: it is strictly forbidden to apply such substances on the surface of products in contact with food. For example, when painting a cup, plate or any other type of kitchen utensil, you can apply acrylic paints exclusively on the outer surface. Otherwise, the use of this kind of coloring substances for glass and ceramics is absolutely safe.
