Physical properties of sodium silicate-based substances make them very attractive for commercial/industrial use. Liquids and solids based on sodium silicate and produced by PQ Corporation have a density from 1.6g/cubic cm. to about 1.4 g/cubic cm.
A very big difference between acrylic and oil paint is the drying time. Acrylics dry in a matter of minutes to hours and oils dry in a matter of hours to weeks! This is a huge factor when choosing whether or not to choose oils versus acrylics.
Waterborne refers to the solvent that is used. 100% Acrylic refers to the resin used. Paint is made up of three (key) components, the solvent, the resin, and the pigment. The solvent is what evaporates or oxidizes. It's what allows the paint to be liquid. Waterborne paints have a water solvent, and oil paints use various oils as the solvent.
