About this product range

Amsterdam Acrylics have the viscosity, pigmentation level, and lightfastness that professionals demand. The well-balanced range of 70 genuine artists' colors is formulated with high concentrations of authentic, non-fading pigments, which guarantees strong and intense colors. 28 colors in the line are mono-pigmented . This heavy-body paint is suitable for working with a brush or painting knife. Paints are formulated with 100% acrylic resin binder, which results in an exceptionally durable and flexible paint film with a uniform degree of gloss. Thin films dry in 30 minutes. Expert Acrylics thin easily with water and are virtually odorless. Being alkali resistant makes them ideal for wall paintings. They exhibit the highest degree of lightfastness so colors remain brilliant and true for years. Paints are packaged in clear, recylable tubes.

Cobalt Blue

Pigment code
PB28
Type
inorganic
Chemical name
cobalt(II) oxide + aluminum oxide

CoO + Al2O3
Properties
Cobalt blue is a semitransparent pigment with low to moderate tinting strength. When it dries, it appears lighter and less saturated. Pigment particles are large and grainy. Differences in how the pigment is ground and mixed lead to considerable differences in its performance among various manufacturers.
Permanence
Cobalt blue is absolutely lightfast and extraordinarily stable. The stability of cobalt salts at high temperatures make them the standard for blues used in ceramics and glassware.
Toxicity
Cobalt salts are toxic. Avoid respiratory and skin contact. Soluble cobalt may cause irritation and allergic reaction through contact with skin. It is considered a possible carcinogen.
History
Since ancient times, smalt blue has been used to color glass and ceramics. Cobalt salts, which give smalt its characteristic blue color, were identified in the 18th century. Techniques for manufacturing Cobalt Blue, a chemically pure salt of cobalt and aluminum oxide, were developed in 1802.
