Description
Synthetically prepared black iron oxide pigment that was developed in the early 20th century. Mars black is a permanent pigment that has a warm brownish black color. It is a dense, heavy powder and unlike most naturally produced black iron oxide pigments, it is magnetic (the exception is ground magnetite). Mars black absorbs oil readily and unlike lampblack, it is a good drier. Mars black can also be used with watercolors and it does not effloresce when used in mortars and cements.
See also Mars colors and Iron oxide black.
