Description: R&F Encaustic Block, Chromium Oxide Green 40ml
Cool, low intensity. Over dark colours, it can almost float. Makes beautiful olive tints. Classification: Synthetic Inorganic Chemical Composition: Chromium oxide Properties Chromium Oxide Green is an entirely opaque, dull, dense, willow, or pale green colour. It has an average drying time and a low tinting strength. It is relatively flexible in oil form and suitable for all purposes and mediums. This pigment is less versatile in mixtures than Viridian and Phthalocyanine Green, but it mixes well with other colours without overpowering them. Permanence Chromium Oxide Green has excellent permanence, even at high temperatures. Toxicity Chromium Oxide Green is slightly toxic. Evidence of Chromium (III) carcinogenicity is inconclusive. Chromium (III) salts appear in greenish pigments such as PG17. Chromium (VI) salts, which appear in yellowish pigments, have been proven to cause cancer. History Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin discovered the element chromium in lead chromate in 1797. It began to be used as an enamel and ceramic colour in 1809 but was limited to use as a pigment until 1862 because of its cost. It is the most commonly used green for military camouflage because it appears the same shade as living foliage under infrared light.R&F Encaustic Paint Block - Chromium Oxide Green, 40 ml
