NEW PRODUCT
Neutral Grey Gesso
In response to requests, Tri-Art introduces Neutral Grey to our Finest Quality line up of gessoes. Grey gesso is the preferred neutral mixing ground by many artist to reflect accurate colour value. We have formulated a warm grey with the highest concentration of acrylic emulsion, pigments and calcium carbonate. 

It is a suitable pH neutral ground for both acrylic and oil paints with excellent adhesion and flexibility to ensure no cracking, rubbing, flaking or lifting from the substrate.

TUBE TRANSITION
Is Complete

Rheotech has now been filled into our new plastic packaging.  The new, slightly frosted tube, is made of food-grade plastic that has been developed for longevity storage of food. It has exceptional moisture retention over other plastics and uses less energy to produce. The tubes will have a different appearance than the current but be assured that we haven't changed our paints, but have transitioned packaging for the better. The next packaging rollout will be cylinders.

TUBE REVAMP
FINEST QUALITY PRODUCT TUBES WILL BE SHIFTING TO
A METAL LAMINATE

Our original tube molds are at the end of their life span and need replacing. Because of this and new developments in technology available for us, we have adopted a new production system for our packaging.
CONS:
- Opaque tubes do not allow the colour  - to be revealed.
PROS:
- Far less energy required to produce.
- We are able to achieve higher production volumes.
- Painted swatch on tube to see colour finish and opacity.
- Easier to squeeze out paint.
- Increased shelf life.
