I picked a bottle of acrylic floor polish a week ago and have been
experimenting with it as well. First, mine actually says it is acrylic
(the brand name is "Future" by S.C. Johnson). The instructions mention
it has no wax, and that to get it off the floor you need ammonia. In
your case I would try painting it onto something and seeing how
waterproof it is afterward (this polish I have works perfectly as an
etch resist, although it has a tendency to form small bubbles as you
apply it). If it's waterproof and removable using ammonia my guess is
it's acrylic.
