Of course. The paintings seen on the manhole cover are usually painted with propylene.

Characteristics of propylene pigment:

(1) can be diluted with water for easy cleaning;

(2) Quick drying. Paint can be dried in a few minutes after putting pen to paper, instead of waiting for months to polish it like oil painting. Painters who like slow-drying characteristic pigments can use retarders to delay the drying time of pigments;

(3) After drying, the colored layer will quickly lose its solubility and form a tough, elastic and impermeable film. This film is similar to rubber;

(4) The color is full, dense and fresh, and no matter how blended, it will not feel "dirty" or "gray". The colored layer will never have oil absorption and pollution;

(5) The durability of the work is long. The oil film in oil painting is easy to oxidize, yellow and harden, and it is easy to crack the picture after a long time. Theoretically, acrylic films will never become brittle and yellow.

Extended data

The manhole cover painting is a painting created on the background of manhole cover or manhole cover and its nearby scenery. The creator can not only doodle on a single manhole cover, but also use the nearby manhole cover or the nearby road surface for creative design to make the graffiti creative works more ornamental.

Create background

The tradition of using beautiful patterns on manhole covers began in the 1980s in 19 and was initiated by a Japanese named YasutakeKameda. At that time, he was an architect of Japan National Architecture Office.

At that time, the sewer system in Japanese cities was similar to that in China now, which was very expensive but inconspicuous. In order to make this huge government project attract more people's attention and popularization, YasutakeKameda came up with the idea of "making the surface of the manhole cover more intuitive and eye-catching".

Therefore, he encouraged cities, towns and rural areas to develop manhole cover designs with local characteristics. Gradually, personalized manhole covers are popular all over Japan.
