		Acrylics appear to dry darker than when they are first applied, but this is not actually the case.
		Acrylics do not exhibit the same changes as oils, leading experts to guess that the life of acrylics is far greater than the materials that were used for centuries before their discovery.

	Textile Fibres - Acrylic
		Acrylic fibres are not affected by humid air but soften and weaken in hot water so that washing in mild conditions is recommended.
		Most acrylic articles are sold with ‘washtub’ label number 6 of the British Textile Labelling Scheme of the Home Laundering Consultative Council (HLCC); this label recommends a wash at only 40ÚC with minimum conditions of agitation and time, followed by instructions for cold rinse, short spin and do not wring.
		Acrylic fibres are generally resistant to chemicals and are used for some types of protective clothing.

		Acrylics are available in colorless clear as well as a wide variety of colors and tints.

	Acrylic paint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The waterbased acrylic paints came later and were coined the term "latex" housepaints, although there is not any actual latex from a rubber tree in an acrylic dispersion.
		In the case of acrylic paints, the addition of a retarder slows the evaporation rate of the water, and allows for more water to be added and the paint workable, until the retarder has left the film and the paint layer is dry.
		While suitable mediums and raw pigments are available for producing your own acrylic paint, due to their fast drying time, hand mixing may not be as practical for the acrylic painter as it may be for an oil painter.

	Acrylic Basics: Artist’s Studio Education
		In acrylics, the vehicle (or binder) is acrylic polymer emulsion, acrylic particles suspended in water.
		Acrylic emulsion is what gives acrylics their flow and rapid drying time, sometimes as quickly as 30 minutes.
		As the pigments found in acrylics are virtually the same as those found in oil paints, and have the same opacity and mixability characteristics, please refer to Artist’s Studio Education: Oil Paint Basics for pigment information as well as a suggested beginning palette.

	Information - A class about acrylics
		When the acrylic liquid is exposed to the heat and to the light, it tends to get hard (to cure).
		This transformation is made with aid of reactors where the "acrylic" liquid is placed previously prepared, and by agitation and heat it cures.
		The good quality of an acrylic resin is specially in the quality of the monomer that is used, in the control of the cure and in the use of appropriate addictive and pigments.
