Abstract

In general, acrylic paints are intricate chemical systems requiring complex characterization similar to polymer compounds with variety of additives. Therefore, careful precision separations and reaction specificity are essential to detect consecutively the polymer matrix and fillers. In this research, typical samples of acrylic coats for artists was developed and characterized using by Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The entire samples to be analyzed expected to be bounded in acrylic resin, a binary copolymer of methyl metha acrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA), styrene (ST), acrylic acid (AA), fillers from locally sourced (CaCO3) and pigmentations. Adequate artistic test will be carried out on canvas involving varieties of the produced colours. The result showed that the produced acrylic paint possessed excellent adhesion properties canvas and demonstrated robust texture upon application on canvas.
