Rublev Colours Dispersion Benzimidazolone Yellow - 2 fl oz

Benzimidazolone Yellow is a high-performance green shade yellow azo pigment designed to have improved weatherfastness and higher tint strength than pre-existing Pigment Yellow 151 grades. It has good gloss retention, tinting strength, and enhanced outdoor durability. It is considered a coloristic match with better weather resistance and the highest chroma compared to competitive grades. This yellow azo pigment has been registered according to the REACH regulation. It is on the following chemical inventories: US TSCA, EU, Japan, Australia, Korea, China, Canada, Philippines, New Zealand, and Taiwan.

Use this dispersion to tint egg tempera, casein paint, milk paint, fresco plaster, distemper, glue tempera, gesso, and toned grounds. Add the binder of your choice dropwise to the dispersion and stir gently — avoid vigorous stirring, which can introduce air bubbles.

Delivers the same pigment used in dry powder and oil paint, pre-dispersed in water and ready to mix with any water-based painting medium. Shake well before use; some settling is normal in a dispersion with no added fillers. 

Why a dispersion instead of dry pigment? A pre-dispersed pigment eliminates the dust hazard of handling dry powder, removes the need for grinding or wetting-out, and provides consistent colour strength from bottle to bottle. The trade-off is cost per weight of pigment — dispersions are more concentrated and more expensive per gram than dry powder, but the convenience and safety benefits are substantial for painters working regularly in water-based media.
