Receta: Matte Ultramarine Blue

In order to create ultramarine blue surfaces of similar color purity as Yves Klein, we have made several tests to achieve a matt finish. We tested different varieties of ultramarine blue. With our Ultramarine Blue, very dark (#45000), and our Ultramarine Blue, dark (#45010), we were able to achieve a comparable color purity and a similarly matt finish.

Procesamiento

Dissolve 40 grams of Tylose® in 1 liter of cold, boiled water, stirring all the time. Paso 1: Dissolve 40 grams of Tylose® in 1 liter of cold, boiled water, stirring all the time.
Keep stirring until the glue is well dispersed in the water, so that it does not float, and no lumps remain. Let the mixture sit overnight to swell. Paso 2: Keep stirring until the glue is well dispersed in the water, so that it does not float, and no lumps remain. Let the mixture sit overnight to swell.
Mix the glue solution with the acrylic Dispersion K 9 with a mixing ratio of 1:1. Paso 3: Mix the glue solution with the acrylic Dispersion K 9 with a mixing ratio of 1:1.
Soak 40 grams of Ultramarine Blue, very dark, or 30 grams of Ultramarine Blue, dark, with water... Paso 4: Soak 40 grams of Ultramarine Blue, very dark, or 30 grams of Ultramarine Blue, dark, with water...
... and add 20 grams of the binding mixture. With both pigments, this method will result in surfaces with high abrasion resistance and a matt finish. Paso 5: ... and add 20 grams of the binding mixture. With both pigments, this method will result in surfaces with high abrasion resistance and a matt finish.
Apply the paint in a thin and evenly spread layer. Every additional coat will intensifiy the matt finish, but reduce the abrasion resistance of the painted surface. After the fourth or fifth coat, the surface will show no scrub resistance anymore. Paso 6: Apply the paint in a thin and evenly spread layer. Every additional coat will intensifiy the matt finish, but reduce the abrasion resistance of the painted surface. After the fourth or fifth coat, the surface will show no scrub resistance anymore.

Ingredientes

Azul ultramar, extra oscuro (#45000)
Alternativa:

Nota

If you use other pigments than the ones listed above, the mixing ratio may be different and abrasion resistance should be tested prior to application with trial coats on a small area. The finer the pigment, the more binding medium is required in order to avoid chalking. Once the suitable mixture and mixing ratio of Acrylic Dispersion, Tylose®, Water, and pigment is found you can achieve the desired matt finish with most pigments.
