About this product range

Grumbacher Academy Acrylics are a line of collegiate-grade, medium bodied acrylic paints available in an array of brilliant colors, including the most sought-after traditional colors, process colors, metallic colors, and iridescent colors. Developed in collaboration with world-class pigment suppliers, the number of pigments in individual colors are reduced, ensuring cleaner mixes and more accurate color matching without sacrificing tinting strength, opacity, or lightfastness. All colors have an ASTM lightfast rating of ‘Excellent’ and are labeled AP. Academy Acrylics are highly pigmented and offer superior tinting strength at a student-friendly price.

Made in the USA.

Pigment information

General reference notes about pigments can describe other media (such as oil). They do not verify this product’s exact formulation or behavior.

Titanium White

Pigment code
PW6
Type
inorganic
Chemical name
titanium dioxide
Chemical formula
TiO2
Properties
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Permanence
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Toxicity
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as non-toxic.
History
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

Permanent Rubine

Pigment code
PR184
Type
organic, monoazo
Properties
Permanent Rubine is a transparent, bluish red pigment with high tinting strength.
Permanence
Although not absolutely permanent, pigment PR184 has very good lightfastness and is considered superior to other comparable transparent red pigments.

Permanent Yellow

Pigment code
PY97
Type
organic, monoazo
Chemical formula
C26H27ClN4O8
Properties
Permanent Yellow PY97 ranges from reddish yellow to greenish yellow with temperature shifts from cool to warm hues. It has good tinting strength and average to slow drying time. Similar in shade to Hansa Yellow 1, it offers much better fastness properties and good heat stability.
Permanence
Pigment PY97 has excellent lightfastness, particularly in the darker shades.
Toxicity
No significant acute hazards of PY97 are known, though chronic hazards have not been well studied.
History
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow. Permanent Yellow (PY97) represents a further development of this line, with the aim of producing a yellow pigment that is suitable for exterior use.
