Cadmium Crisis Latest News<\/h5>\n

As artists have been sharing their viewpoints the committee now have a better understanding of how artists use these important pigments. Remember that the cadmium ban is not inevitable it is only a proposal under consultation. They are seeking information to make a decision about restriction of the pigments.<\/p>\n

You can influence whether or not the restriction is adopted by submitting your opinion. Visit the ECHA (European Chemical Agency) website<\/a> to give your opinions on the use, unique characteristics and handling of these special paints. The deadline is September 19th, 2014.<\/p>\n

Read other articles on this blog about the Proposed Cadmium Restriction.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Clarifying a point<\/h5>\n

There has been some confusion that the ban is to protect artists from poisoning – this is not the case. The ban is to prevent cadmium from getting into the sewage sludge that is used to fertilise crops, after artists wash it down the drain.<\/p>\n

Our argument is that artists paints are not a significant source of the cadmium in the sewage, there are many other far greater sources, and removing cadmium from artists paints will do very little to improve the situation.
\nProponents of the restriction seem to think that artists won’t mind and that related pigments will do just as well. This is where we need to make our voices heard. <\/p>\n

The cadmium used in artists paints is a different form, chemically bound with sulfur so it is stable. It almost seems like it should be called something different to keep people from getting it confused with cadmium metal.<\/p>\n

Here is information from the Gamblin Oil Colours Health and Safety page<\/a> \u2013 Gamblin have been champions of creating a safe environment for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cCadmium pigments:
\nIn the hundred years since their first manufacture, cadmium pigments now have a very low level of bio-available cadmium metal in their chemical composition. Unfortunately, many painters still consider Cadmium artists\u2019 colors highly toxic. If Cadmium pigments were made from cadmium metal they would indeed be highly toxic. Cadmium pigments are actually made from cadmium compounded with sulfur for the Cadmium yellows (sulfur and zinc for Cadmium Lemon and Cadmium Yellow Light). To make Cadmium reds and Cadmium oranges, cadmium is compounded with sulfur and selenium.<\/p>\n

American manufacturers of cadmium pigments have developed production systems that yield cadmium pigments that are relatively insoluble in the human digestive system. They have been so successful that Gamblin Cadmium oil colors DO NOT REQUIRE an ASTM healthwarning label for ingestion. Over 25 years ago when I first started making oil colors, cadmium pigments were much more soluble in the human system than they are now. Cadmium pigments contained about 1000 parts per million (PPM) bio available cadmium. Now cadmium pigments that I choose to make Gamblin Artists Colors contain only about 5 PPM cadmium that can be absorbed through ingestion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
