I am concerned about the health and safety issues involved with using artists acrylic paint. How do I know that working with Liquitex products is safe?
Liquitex Acrylic Paints, Mediums and Varnishes are water based (and water clean up). There are no fumes associated with using Liquitex other than a slight ammonia smell. All Liquitex products are labeled “AP Non-Toxic” by The Art and Creative Materials Institute with the exception of the following: Cadmium Colors – Do not spray apply / Liquitex Soluvar Varnish – contains Mineral Spirits. Toxicologists at the Art and Creative Materials Institute have been certifying safety and quality in art materials since 1940. New Liquitex labels use the AP symbol to indicate Non-Toxic but the phrase “Non-Toxic” has been removed due to European labeling standards. Liquitex products are also labeled for California Prop. 65 which requires that any trace amount (no matter how small) of a toxic substance appear on the label. For more information you can contact the ACMI directly. The Art and Creative Materials Institute 1280 Main St., 2nd. Floor PO Box 479 Hanson, MA 02341 781-293-4100 Fax 781-294-0808 T
