In order to achieve the highest standard regarding lightfastness, resolubility and stability, Schmincke's HORADAM® use the best raw materials available. There is no compromise in quality - the highest standards of artists' pigments allow the highest level of lightfastness. Schmincke's HORADAM® binding medium is Kordofan Gum Arabic from the Sahara region, due to it differing from year to year it is tested and the best of the batch is selected to used with their pigments.

PRIMAcryl Professional is a premium artist acrylic colour that offers a modern and extensive range and was extensively revised in 2025. The superior pigmentation and the fact that 2/3 of all colours are even single-pigment colours provide a brilliance that is second to none. Another advantage: there is almost no colour change between wet and dry paint. Titanium white, known for its high pigmentation, opacity and yield, remains unsurpassed among the white colours for mixtures. Highest resistance and lightfastness of 4 and 5 stars only are another feature of this professional acrylic colour. Sustainability in focus The binder used in PRIMAcryl Professional is produced in a sustainable process: It is not extracted from mineral oil, but produced almost entirely from ‘end-of-use’ plastics (e.g. old car tyres) or plant remains. Compared to the classic ‘petroleum process’, only a minimal amount of CO2 is released. At the same time, competition with food farming is avoided by not using plant-based resources grown specifically for this purpose. PRIMAcryl is microplastic-free, and bottles and jars are made from recycled plastics. 89 colours are vegan, only ivory black (PBk 9) contains animal ingredients. Environmentally friendly cadmium alternatives (e.g. ‘cadmium yellow hue’) complement the original cadmium colours. Titanium white impresses with maximum pigmentation, opacity and coverage.
