Orange 60 ml
This orange oil paint is a modern, high-tech, non-toxic artist's paint. It is formulated to deliver maximum color intensity and exceptional shine without the use of harmful chemicals or heavy metals.
The paint's behavior and properties are determined by the combination of organic azo pigments and the advanced polymer resin:
1. Color tone and visual expression
- Intense and pure orange: Azo pigments are known for delivering extremely saturated, pure and vibrant color tones. This orange appears brilliant and pure, free from the "earthy" or muted tone seen in iron oxide pigments (e.g. burnt sienna).
- Glow and depth: Thanks to the polymer resin that surrounds the pigment particles, the light is refracted deeper into the paint layer. This gives the color an almost enamel-like, lacquer-like finish with an intense inner glow.
2. Polymer resin (Formaldehyde-free)
The inclusion of a modern, formaldehyde-free polymer resin significantly changes the technical properties of oil paint for the better:
- Improved drying time: Traditional, pure azo pigments in oil often dry very slowly and unevenly. The polymer acts as a built-in structure and drying accelerator, ensuring a faster and more uniform drying of the color layer.
- Strong and elastic paint film: When the oil oxidizes, the polymer resin locks the pigments into a chemically stable and elastic film. This protects the painting from premature cracking and makes the surface more resistant to scratches.
- Safe working environment: Many older or cheaper polymer-encapsulated pigments (especially in fluorescent or very bright colors) previously released traces of formaldehyde during curing. The fact that this color is formaldehyde-free means that the artist can safely work with it in closed studios without the risk of toxic or allergenic fumes.
3. Technical characteristics of the canvas
- High tinting strength: Organic azo pigments have a very fine particle size and enormous tinting strength. Even a small amount of this orange color will dominate and strongly tint white or light colors in mixtures.
- Transparent to semi-transparent: The color has a natural transparency, making it ideal for glazing techniques. When applied in thin layers over a light undercoat, it achieves a luminous and vibrant optical effect that is difficult to recreate with opaque colors.
- The non-toxic alternative: The color serves as the perfect, environmentally and health-friendly alternative to classic, opaque orange colors based on heavy metals (such as Cadmium Orange).
This is a future-proof, high-performance artist's oil paint for the painter who wants the ultimate, luminous orange glow. By combining the intense color head of azo pigments with the mechanical strength and faster drying time of polymers - completely without the use of formaldehyde - you get a paint that performs at a professional level and protects your health in the workshop.
