Derivan Pty. Ltd.

Über uns

Since 1964 Derivan has been committed to providing the arts community with the world's most innovative, creative products. These include the finest-quality artist acrylic colours and mediums, water based silk screen and block inks, graphic inks, educational and finger paints as well as a range of cosmetic grade face paints together with an ever evolving range of craft products.

The Founders of the company had a vision "to make available to artists worldwide a premium paint, whilst remaining environmentally and socially responsible". This was to be achieved while still maintaining the quality and personal touch that only a family company can provide. We have succeeded in just that, and Derivan has consequently grown from a tiny affair (operating out of stables in Sydney's inner city) to the multinational operation that it is today. With manufacturing sites spanning 3 continents, we have not lost sight of the fact that at the end of the day, we are here to provide the finest products that can be made, guided by the requirements of our customers.

Derivan Innovations: In the Derivan range of school products, we produced a world-first in the 1960s - "student grade acrylic" - then successfully introduced completely non-toxic screen inks and block inks where previously inks containing toxic solvents were the only choice.

In the 1970s it came to our attention that our children's paint was being used to paint children's faces at fairs and school fetes. Although the paint was non-toxic, it was not formulated for prolonged use on the skin, so Derivan set about formulating another world-first: Face and Body Paint, which meets cosmetic standards in Australia NZ and the EU.

Into the 21st century: Derivan is as committed to not only keeping our existing range of products current but also developing new and exciting innovations. Our Liquid Pencil formula is completely unique, and offers a number of advantages over traditional pencils and inks. Our new Dry Mediums range provides a new and flexible way for artists to experiment with a practically unlimited variety of textural effects.
