Experimentation in Manufacturing Zinc Orange Pigment
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2017
Abstract
Zinc orange is a rare and relatively undocumented pigment. Mention of this pigment in the literature indicated its short lived availability to artists in the nineteenth century and that it is unstable, but does not address any specific issues related to its degradation. The synthesis of the original pigment is discussed. In addition, a full characterization of the pigment is presented including XRF, FTIR, Raman and optical microscopy. Research into its degradation mechanisms was also undertaken, and the light fastness of the pigment is presented.
