    Orpiment Pigment

    Starting at: £12.75

    Call to Order

    PY39

    Orpiment, also called King's Yellow, is a mineral pigment containing naturally occurring sulphide of arsenic. Its high toxicity, and the prevalence of cadmium pigments, means that it is largely obsolete outside the field of restoration. It works best bound in oil or egg tempera, but it is not reliably permanent. Larger quantities are available by request.

    Toxicity D

    PERMITTED USES Over 18s only. Proof of age required. Restoration of art works and protected buildings when alternatives unsuitable.

  2. Vermilion Genuine Pigment

    Vermilion Genuine Pigment

    Starting at: £17.00

    Call to Order

    PR106 Vermilion is an artificial pigment based on mercuric sulphide, which occurs naturally as Cinnabar. The synthetic form contains fewer impurities than Cinnabar, and was in use in China as early as the fourth century. It was present in Europe from the ninth century, and was the most widely used red pigment until the introduction of Cadmium Red in the early twentieth century. It has good tinting strength and opacity but, like many red pigments, it dries very slowly in oil media.

    Toxicity D

    PERMITTED USES Over 18s only. Proof of age required. Restoration of art works and protected buildings when alternatives unsuitable.

    IMPORTANT Please refer to the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) below. Dispose of product as hazardous waste.

  3. Realgar Pigment

    Realgar Pigment

    Starting at: £12.75

    Call to Order

    Realgar, like Orpiment, is sulphide of arsenic, and these two substances are often found in close proximity to each other in nature. Realgar exists in small deposits throughout the world and has been used for its colour since ancient times, although its extreme toxicity means that it has been superseded by cadmiums in modern painting. It is an opaque pigment with poor tinting strength. Larger quantities are available by request.

    Toxicity D

    PERMITTED USES Over 18s only. Proof of age required. Restoration of art works and protected buildings when alternatives unsuitable.

    IMPORTANT Please refer to the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) below. Dispose of product as hazardous waste.

  4. Cinnabar Pigment

    Cinnabar Pigment

    Starting at: £16.00

    Call to Order

    PR106

    Cinnabar, composed of mercuric sulphide, is a mineral pigment found in crusts or veins in sites of volcanic activity. It has good tinting strength and opacity but, like many red pigments, it dries very slowly in oil media. Due to its high toxicity, it is no longer an ingredient in commercial paints, but is a prominent colour in historical palettes. Generally, Cinnabar refers to the natural mineral, while Vermilion refers to the synthetic pigment. Cinnabar has been mined since at least the tenth millennium BC, and used as a painting material, gemstone, and ritual object by many cultures around the globe.

    Toxicity D

    PERMITTED USES Over 18s only. Proof of age required. Restoration of art works and protected buildings when alternatives unsuitable.
