Titanium yellow
Nickel antimony titanium yellow pigment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Titanium yellow is a yellow pigment with the chemical composition NiO·Sb2O3·20TiO2. It is considered a complex inorganic color pigment (CICP)[1][2], formerly known as a mixed phase metal oxide[2]. The pigment has a rutile crystal lattice[1], with 2–5% of titanium ions replaced with nickel(II) and 9–12% of them replaced with antimony(III).[citation needed]

Properties
Titanium yellow has a melting point above 1000 °C and extremely low solubility in water.[citation needed]
As other CICPs, it has excellent heat stability and good chemical stability.[2]
Production
CICPs such as titanium yellow are manufactured by calcining fine powders of metal oxides, hydroxides, or carbonates in solid state at temperatures between 650 and 1300 °C.[1]
