Schmincke | Casein Binding Medium 088 — for pigment grinding, 500 ml bottle
Casein is the main protein found in milk. By adding another substance - ammonia, borax or slaked lime - you get one of the oldest and most stable binders. You call this process unlocking. Think of it as a kind of two-component glue.
This ready-to-use Schmincke Casein Binding Medium 088 is emulsified with borax. Dilute it with water and mix your pigments with it - that's it! You can also use it as an ingredient of tempera paint. Experiment with it. No other binder does pigments such justice, with all their characteristics and differences.
