The oxide yellow #05 is an inorganic, oxide-based pigment, which gives it exceptional colorfastness and outdoor durability. Because Mixol tints are binder-free, they remain fluid in the bottle, resist heat and frost damage, and keep a long shelf life. Cleanup is simple with soap and water, and the formula is non-flammable and non-hazardous for easier handling and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use this tint with different paints and finishes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixol Oxide Yellow #05 blends into most coating systems to adjust hue, intensity or to create custom colours.
