FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Other creatives have asked us...

Are Liquitex Glass Beads made of glass or plastic?

Liquitex Glass Beads are made of actual glass in an acrylic gel medium.
How do Liquitex Glass Beads affect the environment when they are washed down the sink?

As Liquitex Glass Beads are glass, not plastic, they do not pose the same environmental problem as micro beads and micro plastics. The glass is silica based - the same composition as sand. This is a natural material so does not absorb liquid toxins the same as plastic-based components and does not pose the same risks as marine micro plastics. In most cases, small amounts of Glass Beads are not hazardous to the environment when washed down the sink. Having said that, disposal in large quantities may have hazardous effects on the environment. Therefore, it is recommended that items that have been in contact with Glass Beads be wiped with a disposable cloth before the product is dry then washed.
