PY83-Diarylide Yellow 83
PY13-Benzidine Yellow
Pigment Name
PW20-Mica
Pigment Type
inorganic
Chemical Name
aluminum silicate
Chemical Formula
H2KAl3(SiO4)3
Properties
An off-white pigment with complex reflective effects, mica is often used with transparent pigments to create mixed pigments with interference and pearlescent effects.
Permanence
Mica is permanent and lightfast.
Toxicity
Although it is completely non-toxic and not bioreactive, fine particles may be irritating. This is of concern primarily for those exposed occupationally to dry mica powder. Breathing mica particles may cause lung fibrosis and pneumoconiosis.

Pigment Name
PY83-Diarylide Yellow 83
Pigment Type
organic, disazo
Chemical Formula
C36H32Cl4N6O8
Properties
Diarylide Yellow is a semi-opaque, moderately staining, intense deep reddish yellow pigment with good tinting strength.
Permanence
Diarylide Yellow 83 has very good lightfastness and permanence. However, it can fade in tints, so some artists do not consider it suitable as an artists' color. Many other diarylide yellow pigments are reported to have fair to poor lightfastness, and some are completely fugitive. Diarylide Yellow 83 is reputed to be one of the most permanent of the entire group.
Toxicity
Diarylide Yellow has no significant acute hazards, but chronic hazards have not been well studied.
History
Diarylide Yellow comes from a family of azo pigments called Diarylide. These yellow hued pigments were developed around 1940 and are very important in printing inks.
Pigment Name

Pigment Type
organic
Permanence
Benzidine Yellow has good lightfastness.
