A pigment dispersion is finely milled pigment suspended in a surfactant fluid. It does not have binder added, but is instead added to binder. You can use the dispersions in watered down acrylic to make acrylic ink.

An acrylic ink is a paint with acrylic in it. Basically just a very saturated (high pigment load) very fluid acrylic. The dispersion is a liquid pigment concentrate with no acrylic in it. It is not a paint until you add a binder i.e. acrylic. You can make your own super saturated acrylic inks by adding dispersion to our fluid Acrylic 60 and you can add water to it as well if you choose.

@@guerrapaint4249 Thank you! I'm working on putting in an order right now!

Isopropyl :)

We say dispersions make between 8 and 16 times their volume in paint, depending on the inherent tinting strength of the individual pigment. Organic Nickel Violet is a metal complex pigment which has properties from both inorganic and organic pigment classes, putting it's tinting strength in the middle. A 4 oz of this dispersion will make you anywhere from a 32oz (quart) to 48oz of paint depending on your desired saturation level. We usually recommend folks start with the 1oz dispersion sizing when starting out because 4oz is a lot of pigment! However, there is a 30% savings when you jump to that size

@@guerrapaintpigmentnyc2501 ok this is very helpful and makes me feel better that they will be able to create a larger volume 🙏 I was nervous since it was only 1oz but I’m curious to get a bunch of 1oz paints to start off thanks 😊

@@ganapatikitty You're welcome! Feel free to call the store (212-529-0628) or email us at guerrapaint@gmail.com if you have any more questions!

That is PR233, a tin chromate pigment. It has a low tinting strength and not a pigment we currently carry, but you can find it with Natural Pigments www.naturalpigments.com/potters-pink-pigment.html

Hi! Yes you can make any color metallic you like by adding a dose of dispersion (pigment concentrate) to our Super Shine Silver with a binder (paint base). Shoot us an email at gp@guerrapaint.com for more info!

Thank you!

Thanks for sayin! We're here when you are ready!

Yes indeed! There is also a new version of Urethane 40 which is crystal clear and flexible for canvas and paper. 32 is not flexible, more for panel.

@@guerrapaintpigmentnyc2501 Ok, thank you!

Yay Art Prof! Welcome! Let us know if you have questions!

Glad you enjoyed it Tracy :)

The parts in this video are by volume. :)

@@guerrapaintpigmentnyc2501 thanks!

Thank you for your question! The Urethane 32 is a harder urethane which works well as a stand alone varnish or as a paint base suitable for non-flexible surfaces, i.e wood panel or canvas mounted on panel. It also adheres well to metal and glass. The Urethane 40 and the Urethane Flat (which is made from U40) is highly flexible and good for all surfaces but does not adhere as well to metal and glass.

Thank you so much! Definitely, getting me some:)

We have Urethane Flat which is a matte urethane. We also have Silica Flat, which is a matte acrylic binder.

Hello! Unfortunately, we paint out the charts all together, so there is no expedited chart option available.

In the meantime, please check out the pdf copies of the charts at www.guerrapaint.com/PDF/ColorCharts/Dispersions_ALL.pdf and www.guerrapaint.com/PDF/ColorCharts/Pigment_Dispersions.pdf if you have not already. We are always happy to chat on the phone or answer an email if you have any questions about choosing particular pigments. :)

Thanks for watching!

Yes... I think you probably are...

We ship internationally, email us at gp@guerrapaint.com

Thanks Joe!

Glad you liked it!

So glad you enjoyed it :)

Can't wait to see you!

Thank You!

@@guerrapaintpigmentnyc2501 You're welcome.

Absolutely! The easier pigments like ultramarines, earths and mixed metal oxides, chromopthals, pthalos, and pyrroles will be very easy to just stir in to your watercolor medium. Quinacridones, perylenes, anthraquinones and some of the other organic chromophores may flocculate and have a dull color if you just mix them into a commercial watercolor medium. For the best saturation, you will be better off making your own watercolor binder.

So glad you found it informative!

It's amazing that these paints are still offered to us ....at the quality that they are. Thank you over and over to the Seren Morey and Jody Brennell family for making these paints still available to us to this day!!! We Love you for it! 😃❤️

Thank You! and yes you can do that!

Thank you, we are very proud of them :D

Hi there! We had to hold off on selling Urethane 32 for a little bit because of a supply chain delay for one of our raw materials. Fortunately, we just got it in, and should have the new batch of Urethane 32 formulated and bottled up very soon. I added your name to the Urethane 32 email notification list so you will be one of the first to know when it becomes available again- anyone else who would like to be notified can also contact us. Sorry for the delay, and hope you have a great weekend!

When you get air bubbles in the Urethane 32 and you need to let it sit, how long does that take?

30 mins to an hour should do it, sometimes less

We miss Art a lot and are really grateful to have these videos of him that we can always watch.

@@guerrapaintpigmentnyc2501 oh no. I'm sorry

@@joebrann4612 thank you :(

Thanks so much!

I'm not totally sure that I understand your question, but the SDS for the glass beads indicates that the Transformation Temperature is 549C and the Softening Point/Lilleton Point is 734c. (107,65 dPa s) The acrylic binder component would melt and fall apart at a radically lower temperature (think blistering paint under a heat gun). You would probably be better off using a different binder that is more heat tolerant if your intention is to have the glass fuse in the form that you paint it in.

It depends on the pigment- a low tint strength hydrophillic pigment like an ultramarine may be at its best 1:1 with the hydrated gum arabic, which would dry to around 1-1.5 fl oz dried. A high tint strength pigment that requires a lot of additives to prevent flocculation like dioxazine violet may make way more, maybe 4 or 5 fl oz dried?

Glad it was helpful, Tom!

The super shine silver is rather opaque, so it may not be as good of a choice for a translucent look as one of our mica based pearl powders www.guerrapaint.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=145_3 (solar gold is popular if you are looking for a golden glow) or even a gold interference pigment. www.guerrapaint.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=145_7&products_id=565

Your best bet is to overload the Silica Flat binder with plenty of dispersion pigment. To get the powdery look using dry powder the trade off is that some will rub off if you touch it.

Afraid not because it is extinct, but the color is so much cleaner in the dispersed form anyway, it works in most applications

ha ha yes

I believe that should be captioned as iron oxides- for sky colors we do have true (not hue) Cerulean Blue, but that is from cobalt and tin. ;)

Hello! The dispersions do not expire- we have customers still using dispersions that are over 30 years old. They should be stored airtight- if you put the squeeze top on to use them, it is better to switch back to the flat top for long term storage, or you can stretch a piece of plastic across the top of the bottle and then screw on the squeeze top lid to prevent air from getting in. For heavy pigments, it is good to shake them thoroughly if you can see any settling from the outside of the bottle, in addition to shaking them up before each use. Hope you enjoy our watercolor recipe!

@@guerrapaintpigmentnyc2501 Can I use the adjustable chem storage bottles, typical of old-school darkroom chemistry? They have an accordian body, allowing the bottle to collapse on itself, as, product is used. Thank you!

Quinacridone Gold is an extinct pigment. It is no longer in production. We acquired our inventory of Quinacridone Gold over 20 years ago. We are proud to stock over 50 extinct pigments among the 200+ pigments we sell, many of which are not available anywhere else.

@@guerrapaintpigmentnyc2501 Well, someone had to produce it in a lab. Someone must have the formula. And if that is the case, then why can't someone produce po49 in a lab?

​@@etienne7774 It is only cost-effective to manufacture the pigments in huge quantities, typically for the production of vehicles like automobiles and ATV's. Due to economy of scale, manufacturing in small batches would be prohibitively expensive. You can see videos of people making ultramarine pigment, which is much easier to make, and they mention the types of purity issues you run into with small batch production. I am not sure what Quin Gold was used for, but there were tons of champagne and gold colors they used to paint cars that they no longer do- think manufacturers like oldsmobile and chrysler from the 90s. The watercolor market is a rounding error compared to the automotive industry, so it seems to me that we won't have reproduction of these pigments in my lifetime.

In the video, Seren used 20% acrylic binder to 80% glass beads. You can see alternative mixtures of paint made with our glass beads in other proportions in these videos: th-cam.com/video/oRtYNIJEOVg/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/WhV33Lzpxrg/w-d-xo.html You can use any ratio you like as long as there is at least 20% binder.

Glad you liked it!
