Pigment 1:andnbsp;PY3andnbsp;Hansa Yellow 10G (monoazo)

Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.andnbsp;

• Pigments name: PY3 Hansa Yellow 10G,
• Pigment Type: Organic, monoazo
• Chemical Name: n/a
• Properties: This Hansa yellow is a transparent yellow. It has great brightness and tinting strength and its drying time ranges from average to slow.
• Hansa Yellow makes more intense tints and cleaner secondaries than Cadmium Yellows, especially when mixed with other organic or modern colours like Phthalo Blue and Green. Because they are more transparent, they have great value as glazing colours.
• Permanence: This Hansa Yellow has fair to good permanence, particularly in the lighter shades.
• Toxicity: Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
• Alternate Names: Arylamide Yellow, Arylide, Arylide Yellow, Azo, Brilliant Yellow, Monoazo, Monolite Yellow, Permanent Yellow.

Pigment 2:andnbsp;PG7andnbsp;Phthalo Green

This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.

• Pigments name:andnbsp;PG7andnbsp;Phthalo Green
• Pigment Type: Organic
• Chemical Name: Polychlorinated copper(II) phthalocyanine
• Properties: Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity colour used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base colour for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colours in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colours. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
• Permanence: Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
• Toxicity: Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
• Alternate Names: Bocour Green, Cyan Green, Intense Green, Monastral Green, Phthalocyanine Green, Rembrandt Green, Thalo Green, Winsor Green.
