475-11 Stack Flake White (Dutch Method)

• PW1 ^●●●●

Rublev Colours Stack Process Flake White is made in small amounts according to the sixteenth-century Dutch method, differing little from the "stack" process of history. It is the basic carbonate of lead and usually contains about 70% of lead carbonate and 30% of lead hydroxide. This grade of white lead is composed of the actual flakes that fall off the corroded lead sheets and the white lead that is mechanically removed. It is washed and ground-ready for use by the artist.
