High-Quality Additives That Enhance The Performance of Acrylics
Two of the most popular additives from GOLDEN are Retarding Additive and Wetting Aid Additive, each designed to address specific challenges faced by acrylic artists. Similar to mediums, they can be added to the paint . The Wetting Aid is an additive used to reduce the surface tension of the water in an acrylic emulsion, thereby increasing the slickness and flow of the paint. The Retarding Aid is an additive used to increase the open (drying) time of acrylic paints. Allows for extended blending, layering, and glazing, similar to the working time of oil paints
Key Features:
- Increase open time
- Reduce the surface tension of acrylic emulsion
- Improve the slickness and flow of paint
- No acrylic binders
- Use them in correct proportions
Perfect For:
- Acrylic painting
- Minimizing paint waste
- Classroom, home, and studio

Pair Retarder with Wetting Aid for advanced techniques like wet-on-wet glazes on non-traditional surfaces
Wetting Aid Additive: Formerly known as Acrylic Flow Release - an additive used to reduce the surface tension of the water in the acrylic emulsion, thereby increasing the slickness and flow of the paint. It is useful for achieving rich stains on a porous surface. Improves paint absorption into textured or porous surfaces, such as raw canvas or wood and minimizes beading of paint on slick surfaces.
Retarding Additive: an additive used to increase the open (drying) time of acrylic paints. Useful for wet on wet techniques and reducing skinning on the palette. Provides more flexibility, especially for techniques requiring smooth transitions, such as gradients or soft edges. Helps prevent paints from drying too quickly on the palette or canvas, reducing waste.
Key Features:
- Wetting Aid Additive: Reduces the surface tension of water, allowing acrylic paints to flow more smoothly.
- Retarding Additive (Retarder): Slows down the drying time of acrylic paints, increases open time.
- No acrylic binders
- Use them in correct proportions

The retarder does not contain binding agents. To ensure adhesion, the addition of Retarder should not exceed 15% (1:6)when mixed with colors or mediums.
