ELECTRIC PURPLE Pigment stain expands the potter’s palette with unlimited practicability. How it can be applied onto earthenware, greenware or bisque?

ELECTRIC PURPLE color powder mixed with water provides the cheapest and the most usual way of applying underglaze decoration. Glaze and body stains are normally used for the preparation of colored glazes or colored slips. The pigment is suitable for both operations. You can use effect glazes in any combination with this pigment.
All pigments for ceramics are intermixable so why not get creative and experiment by missing your own completely fresh color. During the firing process, the colors fuse extra vigorously creating purity, intensity, and brilliance. The colors are stronger, therefore, significantly less percentage is needed to create vivid colors making them excessively cost-effective.

How to use Ceramic Degussa pigments of the potter:

Electric Purple is powder and should be mixed with a suitable medium (water) in the approximate proportions of 2 parts color to 1 part medium. These can be diluted further with water for brush application, immersion or flooding. After good drying, the products should be glazed with transparent gloss or mat glaze and fire in the kiln.
When using ceramic pigments in glazes, usually in concentrations of 1–10%, a little more care must be taken because some pigment systems react with materials in a glaze.

Other Purple pigments are substances that impart various shades of purple to materials, such as paints, inks, dyes, and cosmetics. There are several types of purple pigments available, each with its unique chemical composition and characteristics. Here are some commonly used purple pigments:

Manganese Violet (PV16): Manganese violet is a synthetic inorganic pigment that produces a deep, reddish-purple hue. It is lightfast and chemically stable, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications.

Cobalt Violet (PV14): Cobalt violet is a synthetic inorganic pigment that provides a rich, bluish-purple color. It is known for its permanence and high tinting strength, making it popular among artists.

Dioxazine Violet (PV23): Dioxazine violet is an organic pigment known for its intense, vibrant purple color. It has good lightfastness and is commonly used in paints, inks, and plastics.

Quinacridone Violet (PV19): Quinacridone violet is an organic pigment that offers a range of purple shades, from deep violet to lighter lavender tones. It is highly lightfast and has excellent color saturation.

Ultramarine Violet (PV15): Ultramarine violet is a synthetic inorganic pigment derived from the mineral lapis lazuli. It produces a reddish-purple shade and is often used in the production of artists' paints.

Carbazole Violet (PV23): Carbazole violet is an organic pigment known for its bluish-purple color. It has good lightfastness and is used in various applications, including printing inks and plastics.

Anthraquinone Violet (PV49): Anthraquinone violet is an organic pigment that provides a reddish-purple hue. It is commonly used in printing inks, coatings, and plastics.

These are just a few examples of purple pigments available in the market. Different pigments have varying properties, such as lightfastness, transparency, and tinting strength, so their suitability for specific applications may differ. It's important to select pigments that are compatible with the desired medium and meet the required performance criteria for the intended use.
