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.

Chemical name
iron oxides (synthetic), iron oxide, silica, alumina, lime, and magnesia or hydrated iron oxide
Chemical formula
Fe2O2 or Fe2O3 x H2O
Properties
Red iron oxide varies in hue and transparency, depending on hydration and slight impurities. Indian Red is a slightly duller, deep brick hue with a bluish undertone. It is very dense and opaque, with excellent tinting strength and covering power. It is dependable when mixing with all other permanent pigments and yields good flesh tints when mixed with Zinc White. It is the synthetic version of PR102, which is a pigment made from earth reds, or natural red iron oxides, and the names applied to PR101 and PR102 often overlap. The synthetic red iron oxides have mostly replaced natural red iron oxides and are brighter, stronger, finer, and more permanent. Indian Red is the highest grade bluish shade. Light Red, English Red, and Venetian Red are yellowish shades. Mars Violet is a dull and subdued bluish or purplish oxide.
Permanence
Red iron oxide is very lightfast with excellent permanence.
Toxicity
Red iron oxide has no significant hazards.
History
Natural red iron oxide comes from the mineral ore hematite, called bloodstone by the ancient Greeks from the word hema, meaning blood. It is one of the oldest pigments, has been used by every major civilization, and was an important mineral for medieval alchemists. It was not widely used in artists' materials until the 17th century and was not produced in large quantities until the 18th century.
