composition / information on ingredients) General statement of toxicity Utrecht Artists’ Acrylic Colors generally are not harmful when in contact with the skin. Certain pigments made with cadmium are potentially harmful if inhaled, but there is minimal risk in normal use. These paints should not be spray applied and if dust is generated from operations such as sanding dried pigment, respiratory protection (dust mask) should be used. As a general rule, wear respiratory protection for all operations that generate dust (e.g., sanding dry paint) and apply with brush only. Formulation overview Utrecht Artists’ Acrylic Colors are formulated with acrylic binder, pigment and other proprietary components. A typical formula may include 50% acrylic binder plus co-polymer, 30% pigment and 20% proprietary ingredients. 1 ACMI: The Art & Creative Material Institute, Inc., 1280 Main Street, PO Box 479, Hanson, MA 02341 Toxicity associated with pigments Pigment toxicity reflects individual chemical components.
