PV23-Dioxazine Violet
PW6-Titanium White
PR184-Permanent Rubine
PR257-Organic Nickel Violet
PV23-Dioxazine Violet
organic
carbazole dioxazine
C34H22Cl2N4O2
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
PW6-Titanium White
inorganic
titanium dioxide
TiO2
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as non-toxic.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
PR184-Permanent Rubine
organic, monoazo
Permanent Rubine is a transparent, bluish red pigment with high tinting strength.
Although not absolutely permanent, pigment PR184 has very good lightfastness and is considered superior to other comparable transparent red pigments.
Permanent Rubine has no acute toxicity.
Permanent Rubine is often used as a principal component of magenta in process color printing. It replaces the widely used pigment Lithol Rubine (PR57:1) in applications where lightfastness is paramount.
PR257-Organic Nickel Violet
organic, heterocyclic nickel complex
Pigment Red PR257 is a bluish red pigment with moderate tinting strength.
Pigment Red PR257 has excellent lightfastness.
Pigment Red PR257 is mildly toxic.
Pigment Red PR257 has been used in industrial and automotive finishes.
