Strontium Chromate

PY32

Pigment Description

This yellow is likely extremely toxic.

A lively, hard-to-find bright yellow, which is prized by some painters. The quality may vary a lot depending on the pigment and the way the paint is formulated- we have two samples which have fared quite differently. One of the two was a very slow drier. It has a bright yellow character - the paint we have tried in oil is similar in hue to a cadmium yellow lemon. Artiscreation mentions that "may turn greenish due to the partial conversion to chromium oxide."

Artiscreation classifies it as a "B" for toxicity, however please always err on the side of great caution- we would also consider this pigment toxic though we are not toxicologists. See the Artist's Guide to Health and Safety for information about the hazards of pigments containing Strontium and also pigments containing Chrome. We have read this pigment is extremely toxic.
