Rublev Colours Pigment Cobalt Green Light - 100 g

Cobalt Green is a synthetic inorganic pigment composed of an isomorphous mixture of cobalt zincate and zinc oxide heated at high temperatures which cannot be chemically separated. Paler tints require greater amounts of zinc oxide.

Cobalt Green absorbs a moderate amount of oil (34 to 37 grams per 100 grams of pigment), which slows the drying of oil paint and yet is a moderately fast-drying oil color. It disperses well in both oil- and water-based paints and is easy to mull by hand to a smooth paste.

Cobalt Green is not considered toxic, but care should be used in handling the dry powder pigment to avoid inhaling respirable dust particles. May contain trace amounts of soluble cobalt, but should not be a hazard in normal artist use. Avoid dust, avoid spraying, don't use your mouth to point your brushes.

WARNING: Exercise care when using dry pigments. Do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid breathing dust. Use a NIOSH-certified dust respirator. Wash hands immediately after use. If the creation of dust is likely, wear protective clothing.
