SICOTAN YELLOW L 1011

Nickel titanium yellow. Is a practically insoluble rutile pigment based on nickel[II]/antimony[V]/titanium dioxide. Nickel[II] oxide, the chromatic component, and antimony pentoxide for balancing the valency, are absorbed by the rutile lattice of this product. The heavy metal oxides thus lose their chemical, physical and physiological properties. The toxicological and ecological properties therefore correspond largely to those of titanium dioxide rutile. Possesses excellent fastness to light, weathering and chemicals. Has very good thermal stability even in white reductions (pastel shades). Suitable for air-drying and baking finishes, coil coating and powder coating. Another field of application are architectural finishes, both water- and solvent-based. Also used in industrial coatings.
