Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver

Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver is a specialized additive designed to enhance the performance of acrylic paints when used in an airbrush. It works by reducing the drying time of the paint on the needle tip, which prevents clogging and ensures a smoother, more consistent flow. This product is a staple in the world of miniature painting and scale modeling.

The Vallejo brand has a rich history that began in 1965 in New Jersey, USA, where it originally specialized in water-based acrylics for the animation industry, notably used by studios like Hanna-Barbera. In 1969, the company moved to Spain to be closer to the thriving European cartoon industry. Over the following decades, Vallejo pioneered many innovations in the art world, including developing the first acrylics for fine arts in Spain and later becoming a world leader in the hobby and model painting sector.

While the brand was a family-owned business for most of its history, it underwent a significant change in December 2023 when the Spanish private equity firm ProA Capital acquired a majority stake (approximately 70%) in Acrylicos Vallejo S.L. Despite this acquisition, the company continues to operate from its headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, maintaining its reputation for high-quality technical products.
