Description
A yellow powder occasionally used as a pigment called siderin yellow. Iron chromate is precipitated from a solution of a chromate salt, such as Potassium dichromate by the addition of Ferric chloride. The pure pigment is bright yellow, but some residual impurities, such as iron oxide, may result in a dull orange pigment color. Siderin yellow is compatible with all paint binders. Iron chromate produces a gray ceramic glaze when used in concentrations of 0.5-2.0%, while it produces a brown glaze color when mixed with zinc. It has also been used as as a colorant in glass and enamel.
