Cadmium sulfide and cadmium sulfoselenide are intense colorants ranging in color from bright yellow to deep red. Cadmium sulfide was first synthesized in Germany in 1817 and later marketed as an artist pigment in the mid 19th century. Its use was not widespread, however, until about 1917. The finely divided, stable, light resistant particles are deeply colored. Early preparations of cadmium pigments had widely varying particles sizes from 0.1 to 7 micrometers, while recently manufactured pigments contain only submicrometer particles. Since the pure pigment was expensive, cadmium pigments were also sold in diluted lithopone mixtures called cadmopones starting in 1927. Currently, cadmium pigments are primarily used in plastics, ceramics, metal enamel coatings, and as glass colorants. They are permanent and have good hiding power. | Cadmium sulfide and cadmium sulfoselenide are intense colorants ranging in color from bright yellow to deep red.

Description
Cadmium sulfide and cadmium sulfoselenide are intense colorants ranging in color from bright yellow to deep red. Cadmium sulfide was first synthesized in Germany in 1817 and later marketed as an artist pigment in the mid 19th century. Its use was not widespread, however, until about 1917. The finely divided, stable, light resistant particles are deeply colored. Early preparations of cadmium pigments had widely varying particles sizes from 0.1 to 7 micrometers, while recently manufactured pigments contain only submicrometer particles. Since the pure pigment was expensive, cadmium pigments were also sold in diluted lithopone mixtures called cadmopones starting in 1927. Currently, cadmium pigments are primarily used in plastics, ceramics, metal enamel coatings, and as glass colorants. They are permanent and have good hiding power.
See also Cadmium yellow and Cadmium red.
Note: Cadmium sulfide also occurs naturally in the minerals greenockite and hawleyite.
