What is the missing ingredient for Acrylic Latex Paint? Does one producer make the missing ingredient for all the paint manufacturers? It was reasonable that Sherwin Williams paint became scarce in Texas due to Big Chill last February but it's still unavailable. At least their A-100 Base Acrylic Latex Satin. Their Exterior Wood primer is only available in quarts. Sherwin Williams produces paint in many parts of the country. I called to California and Ohio, not available there either. I heard something about a Dow Chemical Plant in Lake Jackson TX that had a non freeze damage, explosion? Are they the only company and location that makes ingredients for Acrylic Latex paint? I already visited a paint related forum and they had no clue.
