This document discusses the key components of artists' colors - pigments, binders, and fillers. It focuses on pigments, describing the major types (organic and inorganic), important properties, and examples. The document also discusses binders and fillers. It explains that high quality artists' colors require intense pigment dispersion and uniform particle size distribution. This is achieved through the color paint process, which involves milling the pigments into the binder using a three-roll mill to break up pigment aggregates and coat particles uniformly, resulting in smooth paint with an even color distribution.
Yohimbine occurs in the barks of the West African tree Pausinystalia yohimbe = Coryanthe yohimba, Fam. Rubiaceae.
* Rauwolfia was used as an antidote to snake-bite, to remove white spots in the eyes, against stomach pains, fever, vomiting, and headache.
* Excellent antihypertensive and tranquillizer activity.
Uses
* Pilocarpine is a cholinergic agent and stimulates the muscarinic receptors in the eye, causing constriction of the pupil (miotic) and enhancement of outflow of aqueous humour (treatment of glaucoma).
The effects are similar to those of physostigmine and the two agents are sometimes combined.
Pilocarpine gives relief for dryness of the mouth that results in patients undergoing radiotherapy for mouth and throat cancers.
Pilocarpine is antagonistic to Atropine.
As muscarinic agonists, pilocarpine and analogues are also being investigated for potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Based on the reactivity with Tollen’s, Benedict’s or Fehling’s reagent, carbohydrates are classified as;
Reducing sugars
Carbohydrates that can reduce Tollen’s, Benedict’s or Fehling’s reagents are called reducing sugars (sugar with free aldehyde or ketone group). All monosaccharides and most of the disaccharides are reducing sugars. Some examples are Maltose and Lactose.
Non-reducing sugars
Carbohydrates that cannot reduce Tollen’s, Benedict’s or Fehling’s reagents are called non-reducing sugars. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

Twelve dyes were synthesized by diazotizing six primary aromatic amines, which were subsequently coupled with H-acid(1-napthol-8-amino-3,6-disulphonic acid).Each of these amines wasalso diazotized and coupled with abenzoylated H-acid.The colours obtained were mainly pink, red and orange. The various dyes synthesized were applied onto a Nylon 6.6. The molecular weights of the dyes, as well as their molar extinction coefficients were calculated and their solubility in water was determined. Their maximum absorption wavelength was measured in water. The fastness properties of the dyes were also investigated. They had good fastness properties. Benzoylated acid dyes give brighter shades and high wet fastness properties on nylon 6.6, due to their high molecular weight. They also have good exhaustion properties.
What is Color Index?
Color Index is the most authoritative way to search your exact requirement of dyes and pigments from the vast maze of colorants.
It is basically a compendium of dyes.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Artists’ Color
1. Introduction
The three major components of Artists’ colors are pigments, binders, and fillers.
Pigments change appearance by selective absorption and/or scattering of light. Pigments
determine the hue, hiding power, and tinting strength of artists’ colors. Important pigment
properties include tinting strength, light fastness, weather resistance, hiding power,
transparency, shade, dispersibility, and chroma. Binders enable the pigments to adhere to
the substrate. Fillers can influence optical properties such as whiteness and hiding power
(e.g., synthetic silicates and blanc fixe as partial replacements for white pigments),
rheological behavior, mechanical properties, and resistance to weathering and chemicals.
2. Major components [1]
2.1 Pigment
Two kinds of pigments are generally used in making artists’ color: organic pigment and
inorganic pigment.
2.1.1 Organic pigments
Table 1 lists most organic pigments for artists’ colors. Organic pigments can be classified
into azo pigments and polycyclic pigments.
Table 1. Organic pigments used for artists’ colors (CI: color index, * represents the
lightfastness scale, the more *, the higher lightfastness)
2. WHITE PAPER SERIES
www.threerollmill.com
Tel: (858) 558-6666
Azo Pigments cover mainly the range of yellow, orange, red, violet, and brown shades.
Examples for monoazo pigments are C.I. Pigment Yellow 1, Pigment Orange 5, Pigment
Red 112, Pigment Red 176, and disazo pigments include C.I. Pigment Yellow 83,
Pigment Orange 34, and Pigment Red 144 (Table 1).
Polycyclic pigments include:
• Phthalocyanine pigments (e.g., Pigment Blue 15:3, Pigment Green 36)
• Quinacridone pigments (e.g., Pigment Red 122, Pigment Violet 19)
• Perylene and perinone pigments (e.g., Pigment Violet 29, Pigment Orange 43)
• Isoindolinone and isoindoline pigments (e.g., Pigment Yellow 110)
• Anthrapyrimidine pigments (e.g., Pigment Yellow 108)
• Diketopyrrolopyrrole pigments (e.g., Pigment Red 254).
2.1.2 Inorganic Pigments
All inorganic pigments contain heavy metal constituents with the exception of titanium
dioxide, carbon black, and ultramarine pigments (Table 2).
3. WHITE PAPER SERIES
www.threerollmill.com
Tel: (858) 558-6666
Table 2 Inorganic pigments for artists’ colors
2.1.2.1 White Inorganic Pigments
The largest group of the inorganic pigments is the white pigments, and they are among
the most important in the artists’ palette. The four major white pigments in use today are
titanium dioxide (TiO2, C.I. Pigment White 6), zinc white (ZnO, C.I. Pigment White 4),
blanc fixe (BaSO4, C.I. Pigment White 22), and white lead [Pb(OH)2 .2 PbCO3, C.I.
Pigment White 1]. Nowadays, especially because of the toxicity, the use of lead white is
limited to restoration only.
Titanium dioxide (C.I. Pigment White 6) is of outstanding importance as a white pigment
because of its scattering properties, its chemical stability, its biological inertness, and its
lack of toxicity. In order to improve its weather resistance, lightfastness, and
dispersibility this pigment is frequently coated with colorless organic or inorganic
compounds of low solubility.
Zinc white is a fine white powder, which is amphoteric; it reacts with organic and
inorganic acids, and also dissolves in alkalis to form zincates.
Barium sulfate (blanc fixe) is of lower hiding power than white lead, but has resistance to
hydrogen sulfide. In artists’ colors barium sulfate is often used to adjust the consistency
of the liquid paint.

2.1.2.2 Colored Inorganic Pigments
The colored inorganic pigments can be from the natural earth or synthetic one.
Natural Earth Pigments
Today natural earth pigments used as artists’ pigments are green earth (ferrous silicate
with clay, C.I. Pigment Green 23) and natural iron oxides. Of the natural iron oxide
pigments, hematite (α-Fe2O3) attained economic importance as a red pigment, goethite
(α-FeOOH) as a yellow pigment (C.I. Pigment Yellow 43), and the umbers and siennas
as brown pigments (C.I. Pigment Brown 7). The natural earth pigment has poor tinting
strength and less saturated color shade due to their low purity and broader particle size
distributions. However, synthetic pigments could overcome the weakness of natural earth
pigments.
Frequently clays or silica are present in natural earth pigments.
Synthetic iron pigments include α-FeOOH (iron oxide yellow, C.I. Pigment Yellow 42),
α-Fe2O3 (iron oxide red, C.I. Pigment Red 101), and Fe3O4 (iron oxide black, C.I.
Pigment Black 11). Synthetic iron oxides are produced under controlled conditions by a
number of manufacturing processes. They are chemically purer and, because of their
higher iron content, exhibit greater brightness than naturally occurring oxides. Depending
on their crystalline structure and other physical parameters, iron oxide pigments range in
color from various shades of red through ocher to black.
Chromium(III) oxide, which forms the basis of chromium oxide pigments, crystallizes in
a corundum lattice. Chromium oxide green pigments (Cr2O3, C.I. Pigment Green 17)
contain only trivalent chrome. Chromium oxide pigments yield a fairly dark olive-green
shade. They are largely inert chemically and therefore possess good resistance properties.
Complex Inorganic Color (CIC) Pigments
The term ‘‘complex inorganic color pigment’’ refers to the fact that such pigments are a
homogenous chemical phase and replaces the formerly used term ‘‘mixed-phase metal
oxide pigment’’, which gave the false impression that they are mixtures.
Nickel antimony titanium yellow (Ti,Ni,Sb)O2 (C.I. Pigment Yellow 53) and chromium
antimony titanium yellow (Ti,Cr,Sb)O2 (C.I. Pigment Brown 24,) are rutile pigments.
The rutile lattice of titanium dioxide absorbs nickel oxide or chromium(III) oxide as
coloring components and antimony(V) oxide to maintain an average cation valency of
four.
The cobalt blue pigments are pigments with a spinel structure obtained by partial or
complete replacement of metal ions of the MgAl2O4 spinel by cobalt and chromium (e.g.,
CoAl2O4, C.I. Pigment Blue 28). Incorporation of cobalt and nickel in the inverse
titanium spinels MgO2TiO4 and Zn2TiO4 produces cobalt green pigments (e.g.,
Co2TiO4, C.I. Pigment Green 50).
5. WHITE PAPER SERIES
www.threerollmill.com
Tel: (858) 558-6666
All these pigments are chemically and thermally very stable and have outstanding light
fastness and resistance to temperature, chemicals and weathering.
Cadmium Pigments. All cadmium pigments are based on cadmium sulfide (CdS, C.I.
Pigment Yellow 37) and exist in a highly stable hexagonal crystal form. Inclusion of zinc
yields greenish yellow pigments [(Cd, Zn)S, C.I. Pigment Yellow 35] and inclusion of
selenium changes the shades to orange [Cd(S, Se), C.I. Pigment Orange 20], red [Cd(S,
Se), C.I. Pigment Red 108] and bordeaux. The terms cadmium yellow and cadmium red
have become synonymous with brilliant yellow and red shades. Especially because of
their excellent light fastness, cadmium pigments are appreciated as artists’ colors.
Ultramarine Pigments. Ultramarine blue is the synthetic equivalent of the naturally
occurring semi-precious stone lapis lazuli. The unique blue color is due to polysulfides
within a sodium aluminum lattice, Na6Al6Si6O24(NaSn) (n ¼ 2 – 4).Violet (C.I.
PigmentViolet 15) and pink (C.I. Pigment Red 259) ultramarines are derived from
ultramarine blue (C.I. Pigment Blue 29) by further oxidation and ion exchange and have a
very similar structure. Ultramarines have excellent light fastness and heat stability and,
apart from their sensitivity to acid, good chemical resistance.
Manganese Violet Pigments. Manganese violet pigments are manganese ammonium
pyrophosphates, and are red-shade, bright, clean violets (NH4MnP2O7, C.I. Pigment
Violet 16). Manganese violets have excellent light fastness, good heat stability and, apart
from their sensitivity to alkalis, good chemical resistance. The excellent light fastness and
purity of shade, both in mass tone and pale shades, makes
manganese violet ideal for use in artists’ colors.
Iron Blue Pigments. The term iron blue pigment (C.I. Pigment Blue 27) has largely
replaced a great number of older names (e.g., Prussian blue, Berlin blue, Milori blue).
These names usually denoted insoluble pigments based on microcrystalline Fe(II)/Fe(III)
cyano complexes with the formula MI
FeII
FeIII
(CN)6.H2O,
where MI is potassium, ammonium, or sodium, of which potassium is preferred because it
produces excellent hues.
2.1.2.3. Black Pigments
Carbon black pigments (C.I. Pigment Blacks 6 and 7) are produced by thermal-oxidative
dissociation of aromatic oils, e.g., by the lamp black, furnace black, and gas black
processes. A further black pigment used as an artists’ color is bone black (C.I. Pigment
Black 9), which essentially consists of carbon (10 – 20 %) and Ca3(PO4)2 (70 – 80 %)
[2].
2.2 Fillers
Fillers are used to modify or influence certain physical properties of paints. Organic
pigments with high tinting strength often need a filler to adjust the consistency, hue, and
hiding power. Fillers of importance for artists’ colors are natural barium sulfate (baryte),
6. WHITE PAPER SERIES
www.threerollmill.com
Tel: (858) 558-6666
precipitated barium sulfate (blanc fixe), aluminum hydroxide, calcite, precipitated
calcium carbonate, and clays.
2.3 Binders
For use as paint or artists’ colors pigments must be incorporated into a liquid or pastelike
phase which allows it to adhere to a surface. The general binders are listed in Table 3.
Besides modern synthetic binders classical, natural binders are used for artists’ colors.
The thinning power and the rheological characteristics of the paint are important for
certain techniques like impasto or thin layer, and they depend on the type of vehicle.
Binders which are transparent and colorless and impart high fastness to all physical
properties are preferred for artists’ colors.
The binder incorporates the pigments and determines the physical and optical properties
of the generated film. Physical properties are film strength, elasticity, gloss, adhesion to
the ground, and resistance to light, weather, alkali, acid, and heat. Optical characteristics
are transparency, hue, and refractive index, which determine the opacity of the pigment.
Paint generally consists of three components:
1. The film-former, a chemical that dries by polymerization, physically by evaporation of
solvents, or by oxidation in air.
2. The solvent in which all other materials are dissolved or suspended if the binder is not
liquid.
3. Small quantities of additives that perform special functions like accelerating or
hindering functions, optimizing drying processes, optimizing rheology and surface
properties, and controlling the open time. Combinations of film-formers are also used.
For example, the type binder for tempera paints is a combination of oil and water-soluble
gum arabic (or casein) emulsified with the aid of an emulsifying agent.

Table 3. Binder for artist’s colors
3. Quality Factors
The quality of artists’ colors and the final fastness of the painting are determined jointly
by the binders and pigments. Pigments differ in their physicochemical and in their optical
characteristics. Physically, pigments must withstand light, weather, and heat. Chemically
they must resist the action of alkali and acids. To prevent migration, the pigments must
be resistant to the binder; this mainly means insoluble in the binder.
Optical properties of pigments are shade, tinting strength, light fastness, and hiding
power.
Pigments can fade or darken, mainly under the action of UV radiation, which can break
certain chemical bonds or change the molecular constitution. A change in chemical
structure means a change of absorption in the visible region of the spectrum and a
subsequent loss of tint or change of hue. However, if the pigment absorbs UV light
without any change of molecule structure, decomposition of the binder may be prevented
[3].
The light-scattering power of a pigment depends on its particle size and its refractive
index relative to that of the medium in which it is dispersed.
4. The color paint process
The relationship between pigment and oil is critical. Oil must be available enough within
the paint to properly coat and bind the pigment particles. Too much oil will lead to low
color strength, excessive yellowing and livering of the paint film. For every one percent
of pigment that is added to the formula it is considerably much harder to fully disperse as
there is less oil to coat it.
8. WHITE PAPER SERIES

Tel: (858) 558-6666
In artist’s paint, the size of the particle is very important- it determines the amount of
light that is reflected and therefore the color intensity of the paint. Ideally, the pigment
crystalline structure should not be fractured or the color will be dull. Particle size should
be less than 70 micron. The optimal particle size is 36 nm [4].
The pigment is first dispersed with the oil into a stable paste, known as the 'millbase'. The
material is mixed in planetary or high-speed mixers for extended times to ensure the
pigments are well coated in the oil. The millbase is then left to rest for a period of time to
allow for the incorporation of more pigment often not attainable in the initial dispersing
process. The millbase is then passed through the three-roll mill.
Figure 1 The schematic drawing of three-roll mill
The paint mixture is loaded between the feed roll and the center roll. Due to the
narrowing space between the rolls, most of the mixture is rejected to the feed region. The
part does make it through experiences very high shear force and disperses the pigment
particles in the binder. As it comes out the other side, the material that remains on the
center roll moves through to nip between the center roll and apron roll, experiencing even
high shear force due to the higher speeds. The paint maker then scrapes the processed
mixture off the apron roll with a knife and transfers it back to the apron. The milling
cycle is repeated many times until the pigment is perfectly dispersed and the particle size
is in the good range.
This graphic (Fig. 2) shows how the pigment aggregates goes into the 3-roll mill, where
the pigment particles are dispersed and evenly coated by the binder, resulting in the
smooth paint that is put into the tube. If the paints were not finely ground, you can see hot
or shiny spots and cold or dull spot.

5. Conclusion
High quality artists’ color paint requires the fullest chromatic strength, intense tinting
power, excellent lightfastness qualities and extremely clean color-mixing potential on the
palette. In order to reach the unique paint quality, the pigment dispersion and narrow
distributed particle size are demanded. Three-roll mill machine plays an important role in
the color paint process to achieve the high quality color paint.
