Product Details

POLBEN's Pigment Iron Oxide pigment is finely ground oxidised iron or rust. Depending on the thickness at which it is applied to the substrate, you create a lot of depth and luminosity.

USE: This pigment can be used immediately as a dried powder rubbed onto the substrate, or it can be mixed with a variety of binders, including but not limited to, gum arabic, linseed oil, gum tragacanth, setting agents, and encaustic wax medium. For paint-making, I recommend mulling your pigment into the binder with a muller and grinding slab, this results in a very fine, smooth paint.

HEALTH & SAFETY: Iron oxide is not generally considered hazardous, but I advise wearing a mask when airborne.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This is a handmade product that has been collected, washed, ground and packaged. Be aware there may be slight variations in shade from batch to batch. The pigment is completely stable/lightfast.

This is a handmade product that has been harvested, precipitated, ground and sieved.

My Iron Oxide is packaged in corked and waxed, 30ml glass vials.

SHIPPING TO AMERICA: Buyers shipping to America are responsible for any tariffs, duties and fees that may apply.
