From the manufacturer:
Liquitex Satin Gel gives your acrylic paint a satin sheen finish, while increasing open time and color brightness. Use it to thicken soft body paint, or to extend the volume of heavy body paint without affecting acrylic stability. The more you add, the more transparent your color will be. If you’re blending or softening edges, the slower dryer time will be useful. Collaging, decoupage or fixing mixed media? Use it direct from the pot as a strong transparent glue.
