Description
Although expensive, the depleted uranium oxide is sometimes used as a pigment in glazes. It produces red and orange colors at about 940 C while slightly higher temperatures give a soft yellow color (Kawai's yellow). It can turn gray or black at temperatures above 1260 C.
Synonyms and Related Terms
Kawai yellow
Risks
Highly toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Human carcinogen.
