Rublev Colours Pigment Orange Molybdate - 100 g

Molybdate orange has been widely used in coatings and plastics for many decades during the 20th century because of its bright colour and high hiding power. It's a pigment made by coprecipitation of lead chromate and lead molybdate, often in the presence of lead sulfate, and used in plastics, protective coatings, and printing inks.

Pure tetragonal lead molybdate, which is colourless, forms orange to red tetragonal mixed-phase pigments with lead sulfochromate. The composition of red molybdate and orange molybdate pigments can be varied to give the required colour properties.

Water-Based Paint: In water-soluble paints, orange molybdate is an opaque, highly staining, intensely reddish-orange pigment.

Oil Paint: In oil paint, orange molybdate is an opaque pigment with excellent tinting strength and very good light resistance.

Orange molybdate contains lead and chrome, which are considered chronic toxins; hence, care should be taken when handling the dry powder pigment to avoid inhaling dust.

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.
