Description nickel titanium yellow, (Ti,Sb,Ni)O2
Colour Index Pigment Yellow 53 / 77 788
Chemical nature Sicotan® Yellow K 1011 is a practically insoluble rutile pigment based
on nickel[II]/antimony[V]/titanium dioxide. Nickel[II] oxide, the chromatic
component, and antimony pentoxide for balancing the valency, are
absorbed by the rutile lattice of this product. The heavy metal oxides
thus lose their chemical, physical and physiological properties. The
toxicological and ecological properties therefore correspond largely to
those of titanium dioxide rutile. The acid-soluble antimony content is
less than 20 mg/kg. The doped rutile pigment should not be regarded
as an antimony compound that must be labeled as a dangerous
substance.
Toxicology In animal studies, nickel titanium yellow pigments did not display acute
toxicity. Feeding tests on rats to determine the chronic toxicity revealed
no toxicological finding whatever. No acute irritant effect was shown in
tests to determine the acute irritation of the skin and mucous membranes.
Extreme exposure to dust may lead to a brief irritation of the
eyes by mechanical influence. No allergic reactions have been reported,
even after handling nickel titanium yellow for many years.
Ecology Sicotan® Yellow K 1011 does not represent any hazard for the environment
owing to its inert, practically insoluble character. The pigment can
be removed mechanically from effluents. If it is dumped on a controlled
dumpsite, dissolved heavy metals are not given off to the seepage water.
If articles colored with Sicotan® Yellow K 1011 are incinerated, the pigment
is recovered in the original form in the residual ash.
Water hazard classification WGK 0, no hazard to waters (VwVwS of May 17, 1999, annex 3)
Heavy metal contents Sicotan® Yellow K 1011 contains approximately 3 % of nickel and 10–
11 % of antimony. The pigment does not contain any lead, cadmium,
chromium[VI] and mercury compounds in the formulation. The sum of
the total contents of these elements, according to tests on standard
samples, is less than 100 mg/kg. It is thus below the limit in the EU
packaging directives, the American CONEG model and the EU end-of
live vehicles directives 2000/53/EC. The average values for the total
contents of technically unavoidable impurities are as follows:
arsenic < 20 mg/kg lead 60 mg/kg
cadmium < 5 mg/kg mercury < 1 mg/kg
chromium < 50 mg/kg selenium < 1 mg/kg
cobalt < 10 mg/kg zinc < 100 mg/kg
Halogen content Sicotan® Yellow K 1011 does not contain any halogens in its
formulation.
