Manganese Blue—a beautiful glaze colour with an ice-blue
undertone. It is often described as a stunning glaze colour with a subtle
ice-blue undertone, which is a popular choice among artists and designers for
its unique and captivating hue. Classification: Inorganic Chemical Composition: Cobalt (II) stannate Properties Cerulean Blue is the standard cool blue, considered the traditional counterpart to Ultramarine, and is often used for painting atmospheric shades. It quickly dries and retains its colour well, better than any other blue in oil paint form. However, it tends to granulate or become chalky in watercolours. It has limited hiding power, is semi-opaque, and is easy to control. Its tinting capacity is low, so it can become lost when mixing. Permanence Cerulean Blue has excellent permanence. It is very stable and lightfast. Toxicity Cerulean Blue is moderately toxic if inhaled or ingested and slightly toxic if it comes into contact with skin. History The name Cerulean Blue comes from the Latin word caelum, meaning sky. Andreas Hopfner discovered this pigment in 1805, but it was only widely available in Messrs. G. Rowney Co. in England introduced it in 1860 under the name coeruleum for use in aquarelle and oil painting. It was produced by the action of heat on cobalt oxide and other metallic bases. Classification: Organic Chemical Composition: Beta copper phthalocyanine Properties Phthalo Blue PB15:3 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more greenish tones. Permanence Phthalo Blues are lightfast, stable, and permanent for all paint uses. Due to their stability, they are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry. Toxicity Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). History Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff, now known as Phthalo Blue, was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark colour was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue. Classification: Inorganic Chemical Composition: Zinc sulfide Properties Zinc Sulphide White is a semi-transparent yellowish-white pigment. Zinc sulphide and zinc oxide (PW4) are often combined to create a more natural white colour. Transparency increases as particle size decreases. When slight impurities are added, zinc sulphide has phosphorescent and electroluminescent properties. It is often used to manufacture fluorescent or glow-in-the-dark paints. Permanence Zinc Sulphide White has excellent permanence and lightfastness. Toxicity Zinc Sulphide is non-toxic, but ore deposits often contain lead. Traces of lead and other impurities may be present in pigment powders. Ingestion is not recommended. History Zinc sulphide, when combined with slight impurities, has phosphorescent properties. It is often used to manufacture invisible ink that glows with ultraviolet light and fluorescent paints.R&F Encaustic Paint Block - Manganese Blue Hue, 40 ml
