Artisanal fabrication
Sennelier maintains a tradition of artisanal fabrication, subject to strict and constant quality control. Each stage of production is rigorously tested in the laboratory. A product is only launched on the market after a serie of tests confirming that it meets very specific requirements for colour, lightfastness, consistency, saturation, value, pH, and drying time. All products in the extra-fine acrylic line conform to the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standard D4236 concerning toxicity and safety. The colours also meet the ASTM D5098 standard, testifying to their lightfastness.
