Pigment Information
This color contains the following pigments:
PB15-Phthalo Blue
PR175-Benzimidazolone Red
Pigment Name
PB15-Phthalo Blue
Pigment Type
organic
Chemical Name
copper phthalocyanine
Chemical Formula
C32H16CuN8
Properties
Phthalo Blues are pure and clean primary blues with superior covering power. They have a very high tinting strength and tend to overwhelm other pigments, but if color strength can be controlled, they make predictable mixed colors. In oil form, blues are very deep and slow drying. When mixed with other colors or if chlorine is added, Phthalo Blue quickly tends towards green. When using alone, mix with some white, as Phthalo Blue can be semi-transparent and almost black on its own. It is among the most compatible of modern colors with mineral colors and is considered more reliable than Prussian Blue, while sharing the same physical and color properties. Phthalo Blue is a good color for glazing.
Permanence
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. 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 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 color 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.
Pigment Name
PR175-Benzimidazolone Red
Pigment Type
monoazo, organic synthetic
Chemical Formula
C26H19N5O5
Properties
Benzimidazolone Red is a transparent, dull, yellowish red with an average drying time. It lacks the color, purity, and brightness characteristic of most organic synthetic pigments.
Permanence
Benzimidazolone Red has excellent lightfastness.
Toxicity
Benzimidazolone Red is not considered toxic.
History
The benzimidazolone group of pigments was developed and patented in 1960 by Hoechst A.G., a German chemical manufacturer that was a forerunner of the pharmaceutical company Aventis.
