MATISSE STR 75ml CAD FREE RED DEEP

Rising to prominence in the early 20th Century, as the conversation around safe material practices progressed, Cadmium colours offered a desirable substitute for highly noxious pigments like Vermillion, which contained pure mercurial sulphide.

Addressing these concerns, the pigments in our traditional Cadmium range undergo a thorough acid-wash treatment, ensuring all bio-available heavy metals are removed for peace of mind. To further alleviate any remaining fears, our new Cadmium-Free range of colours are formulated through a process that consciously excludes heavy metal pigments entirely. 

With this rich, eye-catching new suite of Cadmium-Free colours, Derivan continues to foreground the wellbeing of artists, without compromise to quality, ensuring the safest available materials are used to produce a Cadmium alternative par excellence.
