Description
A strong yellow pigment that was also called Turner's yellow. Lead oxychloride was discovered in 1770 by Scheele but not patented until 1781 by J. Turner in England. Turner's yellow was made by mixing powdered lead chloride with lead carbonate then fusing. This yellow pigment was used for a short time in oil paints, but its sensitivity to light and sulfur fumes limited its use and it was replaced by chrome yellow pigments.
Synonyms and Related Terms
hydrated lead chloride; patent yellow (PbCl2.5-7PbO); Montpelier yellow; Kassel yellow; mineral yellow; Vernona yellow; Cassel yellow (PbCl2-7PbO); Turner's yellow
| Composition | PbCl2.5-7PbO (patent yellow) |

Hazards and Safety
Turns black when exposed to water, UV light and sulfur fumes.
