Characteristics
Bistre consists of black flakes which are perfectly soluble in water. Bistre is a cheap pigment for the production of brown paper and cardboard. In the wood industry, bistre is used as a cheap and excellent water-soluble wood tint, which has a good water resistance after drying. Coloured bistre comes in different colours like yellow, red, blue, green, brown and black. The colour is always brown (because of the bistre) with a tone (yellow, red, etc.) in the pigment. The UV- and weather resistance of coloured bistre is not as good as that of bistre, because the stability of organic pigments is not very good.
