Kremer White, Zirconium White

Description

Kremer White delivers a versatile zirconium silicate pigment engineered for artists seeking a non-toxic alternative to traditional lead-based whites. This lightfast formulation performs reliably across aqueous media and oil, though it yields a softer tone than pure titanium white. Its exceptional thermal stability—withstanding temperatures above 1400°C—makes it equally valuable for ceramic applications. The pigment disperses smoothly in all aqueous binders and exhibits subtle translucency in oil, offering nuanced control for layering and glazing techniques.

Painter’s Note: This is a translucent to semi-translucent warm weight. It’s a nice balance with Zinc white in that Zinc is cool and this is warm. You get a large spectrum of other colors this way.
