Anthraquinone Red Pure Pigment Powder (15ml)

Using only the highest-quality pure pigment, our A J Ludlow Colours’ Anthraquinone Red powder is suitable for all home-made paint formulations, including water, oil and acrylic colours, as well as solvent-based acrylic or polycarbonate resins.

Grind the pigment with A J Ludlow’s Binder and Painting medium to make home-made watercolours or alternative binding mediums, including drying oils for oil colours and oil-based paints and for three-dimensional work, solvent-based acrylic or polycarbonate resins. For home-made acrylic colours, the pigment should be ground into a wetting and dispersing additive first, in order to stabilise the pigment in the acrylic emulsion.

Anthraquinone Red pigment powder is a synthetic blue-shade red organic complex, from the anthraquinone-type class of light stable and high-performance pigments. This pigment is often found on the modern watercolourist’s palette because it is used as a good shade alternative for the fugitive natural anthraquinone lake pigment derived from the madder root, Alizarin Crimson ( C.I. PR83) and so, because of its good light fastness is often referred to as “Permanent Alizarin Crimson”. The pigment has excellent light fastness resistance.
