Technical Innovation in the light of changing consumer demands for pigments

Abstract

The special properties of the lead chromate pigments have been used for many years in surface coatings. These properties which incude high opacity and brilliance of shade need not be further elaborated here. Naturally occurring lead chromate — the mineral crocoite — when powdered and formulated in a coatings composition will darken on exposure to light. Chrome pigments were once classified according to the composition of the lead salt used in manufacture. The principal classes were:—
