Description

Pigment Violet 3 is a synthetic organic pigment belonging to the diarylide pigment class, known for its clean, reddish-violet hue and excellent color strength. This high-performance pigment is valued for its good lightfastness and heat stability, making it a reliable choice for demanding coloration applications. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and printing ink industries seeking consistent and durable violet shades.

Application

• Plastics Coloring: For coloring PVC, polyolefins, and other engineering plastics, offering good dispersion and heat stability during processing.
• Industrial Coatings: Imparts durable violet shades in air-dry and baked industrial finishes, including automotive refinishes and machinery coatings.
• Printing Inks: Used in solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable inks for packaging, publication gravure, and flexographic printing.
• Masterbatch Production: A key component in the manufacture of color concentrates and compounds for the plastics industry.
• Synthetic Fibers: For mass coloration of fibers such as polypropylene and polyamide.
• Artists' Colors: Employed in the formulation of professional-grade artists' paints and acrylics.
