Featured Colour:
PIGMENT VIOLET 23Pantone’s colour or the year, Ultra Violet 18-3838, is thought to ‘communicate originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future.’††Historically speaking, violet was associated with royalty. In fact, it is said that in the 16th century Queen Elizabeth I allowed only close relatives to wear purple. By the 19th century, the colour was made more accessible to the world when a British chemist patented the process for synthetic purple.††† It is now recognized as a unique colour that evokes spirituality with a hint of mystique. DCC developed Pigment Violet 23 to satisfy several types of markets. It is available for coatings, dispersions and inks!
Coatings
DCC Violet 3223 is a blue shade violet for use in demanding automotive/fleet refinishes, agricultural/construction equipment, oil/gas/marine, industrial protective and architectural latex coatings. It has excellent tinctorial value and weatherfastness relative to competitive grades (see table 1). This product also demonstrates high gloss, opacity, and stability, making it suitable for both solvent and water borne coatings.
Dispersions
DVS Violet 223 is a a multi-purpose solvent based dispersion for agricultural & construction equipment, automotive OEM, automotive refinish & fleet, building products, oil, gas & marine coatings. It is manufactured from the DCC pigment, DCC 3223. DVS 223 takes the headaches away from dispersing a product that is this inherently difficult to disperse and clean up. In addition to the value a dispersion brings, DVS223, does not suffer from the Countervailing and Antidumping duties typically applied to imported PV.23 pigment.
Inks
DCC Violet 3123 is a carbazole pigment that offers excellent gloss, transparency and rheology for P/A and N/C solvent inks. It offers better performance that leading competitors.
