Imperial Green Supersat Roscopaint 5 litres
Rosco Supersaturated Paint is a highly pigmented acrylic paint designed for scenic artists. Made of single source artist grade pigment, uniquely formulated to be diluted with water and a flexible paint for fabric. It dries to a flat matt finish with no sheen and is water-resistant, suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
Rosco Supersaturated Paints should be diluted at least 1:1, with water, Rosco Clear Acrylic Glazes, or a combination of the two as necessary. Therefore, one litre of paint becomes at least two.
Paints can be diluted at a ratio of 1:1, for deep colours and opaque applications, through to 15:1 (water/glaze:paint), for shading techniques and translucent colour effects. This makes large scale scenic painting easy and cost effective, allowing for a variety of different shades from just one pot.
It is a flexible vinyl paint, making it the ideal solution for painting backdrops for photography or theatre onto a flexible surface that will become subject to folding or rolling.
The most pure pigment content of all Roscopaint, Supersat is available in over 20 colours, from Cerulean Blue to Velour Black, all of which can be mixed to give predictable results. Colours remain consistent under changing light conditions, on camera, when used as film paint for set design, or under stage lights in the theatre. Rosco Supersaturated is versatile paint for any scenic artist.
For more details on the colours available, see our Rosco Paint Colour Chart.
For a flame retardant finish when using powder or concentrated scenic paints, consider diluting them with Firecheck™ instead of with water.
Features and benefits
Fully intermixable with other Supersat colours
Supersat is formulated with highly concentrated, single source artist pigment and can be mixed with other Supersat colours to achieve vibrant colours with predictable results.
An economic choice for large scale productions
It is recommended to dilute Supersat from 1:1, for opaque colours, to 15:1, for lighter shades and glazes. One pot becomes at least twice the volume and allows the ability to achieve a spectrum of shades from just one container.
The ideal solution for painting backdrops for photography and theatre
Supersat adheres to wood, plaster, metal, brick, stone, plastics, fabrics including muslin and vinyls including Rosco Dance Floor. Its flexible binder allows Supersat to be painted onto works of art that can be rolled away and stored for another production and resist cracking over time.
A flat matt finish, perfect for theatre, film & TV
Supersat won’t look glossy or reflect stage or studio lights and can therefore be lit realistically to blend into the scene.
Supersat Roscopaint Specifications and Application Guidance
- Finish: Dead flat / matt
- Solvent: Water based
- Binder: Vinyl acrylic co-polymer
- Dilution:Rosco Supersat can be used straight from container without dilution, but it is recommended dilute at least 1:1 with water, Rosco Clear Acrylic Glaze or a combination of the two as necessary. Diluting will reduce the colour concentration and create "glaze" effects. Diluting with more than 5 parts water may reduce binder strength. Add in Rosco Clear Acrylic Glaze to restore adhesion and flexibility.
- Surface Preparation: Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dirt and grease. Prime porous surfaces, except fabrics, using Rosco Tough Prime. If painting a new plaster surface, prime wall with a commercial primer/sealer designed for raw plaster. Then use Rosco Tough Prime as a final preparation.
- Application: Stir contents well before each use. Apply by brush, roller, or spray gun. Apply in thin uniform coats, using a good quality brush or roller. Use overlapping strokes, keeping a wet edge. Change roller direction often to avoid patterns and streaking.
- Film Thickness: 1:1 dilution = 1.5 mil. dry film ; Undiluted = 2 mil. dry film.
- Coverage: 1:1 dilution = approx. 8-10 square metres per liter, depending on substrate, application tool and film thickness.
- Average Dry Time: At 24°C, dries to the touch in 30-45 minutes. Can be recoated in 1-2 hours. Allow 72 hours for bond.
- Clean-up: Warm soap and water.
- Shelf Life: Minimum shelf life for unopened, sealed paint is approximately 24 months when stored in a temperature controlled location.
- Cautions: Do not apply when surface or air temperature is below 11ºC (52ºF). Protect against freezing. If paint does freeze, allow to thaw and come back to room temperature naturally. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep out of reach of children.
