For years we have been researching and making alkyd paints. This research has led us to the development of C.A.S. AlkydPro Paint. Finally, artists have another choice for alkyd-oil paint. C.A.S. AlkydPro Paint is the first line of true alkyds made in the United States, and the first line of genuine Artist's grade alkyds. Unlike some fast-drying oils available today, our paints are made entirely from an Alkyd Resin Base. We did not start with a traditional linseed oil paint and simply add alkyd resin- our paints contain no linseed oil. Our new improved formula for the entire line is made with a non-yellowing sunflower alkyd oil for the highest performance.This is a unique paint. We are now offering 56 luminous colors and three mediums, providing artists with a full range of color and creative potential.
Our paints are not the student-grade quality that artists have come to expect from alkyd based paints. AlkydPro paints contain a similar load of pigment to that found in professional oil paint. Our pigments are excellent quality with high lightfastness ratings. We use a low-odor formula, containing the minimum odorless mineral spirits and the maximum pigment. AlkydPro paints dry within a few hours to 20 hours, depending on paint thickness, room temperature, etc. After drying, the surface stays flexible and durable.
We have painstakingly perfected our formula to create thick paints that are similar in consistency to oil paints. Our formulation retains brushstrokes, as well as smooth brushability. Our colors are lightfast, and unlike most traditional oils, they are non-yellowing and remain brilliant long after drying. They are compatible with traditional oils and solvents.
Available in 70ml and 120 ml tubes.
