Kremer Pigments - 34 g Dioxazine Violet

When applied in its pure state, Dioxazine Violet has a metallic-gold luster. When slightly diluted, the luster
disappears and a barely identifiable dark depth is perceived. Only with further dilution does a medium violet
tone become visible, which is bluer than cobalt violet dark. When mixed with white, the same nuances can
be achieved as with transparent paint. Dioxazine violet is also used as a mixing component to give phthalocyanine blue a red cast. It is suitable for coloring plastics for all types of polymers. Because of its ability to absorb infrared light, it is used in camouflage dyes.
Dioxazine violet has been known as a pigment since 1928, but it was not until 1952 that the Hoechst company applied for a patent on the manufacturing process. Shortly thereafter, dioxazine violet appeared on the market.
