Pigment Information
This color contains the following pigments:
PW15-Tin Oxide
PW20-Mica
PW5-Lithopone
Pigment Name
PW15-Tin Oxide
Pigment Type
inorganic
Chemical Name
tin(IV) oxide
Chemical Formula
SnO2
Properties
Tin Oxide is a very opaque white pigment with a subtle luster that makes it useful for creating or enhancing pearlescent effects in paints and glazes.
Permanence
Tin Oxide is lightfast and permanent.
Toxicity
Tin Oxide is not toxic, but it is a respiratory irritant. Avoid dust.
History
Tin Oxide is the source of luster in marble and granite. In this natural form, it has been used since ancient times. Today it is used as a pearlescent white pigment in some paints and ceramic glazes.
Pigment Name
PW20-Mica
Pigment Type
inorganic
Chemical Name
aluminum silicate
Chemical Formula
H2KAl3(SiO4)3
Properties
An off-white pigment with complex reflective effects, mica is often used with transparent pigments to create mixed pigments with interference and pearlescent effects.
Permanence
Mica is permanent and lightfast.
Toxicity
Although it is completely non-toxic and not bioreactive, fine particles may be irritating. This is of concern primarily for those exposed occupationally to dry mica powder. Breathing mica particles may cause lung fibrosis and pneumoconiosis.
History
Mica has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times.
Pigment Name
PW5-Lithopone
Pigment Type
inorganic
Chemical Name
coprecipitated zinc sulphide and barium sulphate
Chemical Formula
Zn + BaSO4
Properties
Lithopone is a low tinting strength, semi-transparent white pigment that is often used as a filler or extender in other colors, or as the base for laked pigments.
Permanence
Lithopone is absolutely permanent and lightfast.
Toxicity
Lithopone is not toxic.
History
Lithopone was discovered by G.F. de Doubet in 1850. It was developed commercially in the 1870s as a substitute or supplement for lead carbonate, to overcome the many shortcomings of white lead pigment, including toxicity, poor weathering, and darkening in the presence of sulfur compounds. It is used most often in interior paints and enamels. Its use as a white pigment has been superceeded in many applications by titanium dioxide.
