Pigment Violet 15 (PV15), known commercially as ultramarine violet, shares the aluminosilicate framework of ultramarine blue but has a modified polysulfide chromophore resulting from controlled thermal oxidation during production. This structural change shifts the hue from blue to violet.
The CAS number for Pigment Violet 15 is 12769-96-9. It has a density similar to PB29 at around 2.3-2.4 g/cm³ and offers outstanding heat stability up to 350°C, making it suitable for high-temperature plastic processing.
PV15 is lightfast and resistant to weather, acids (within formulation limits), and alkalis, making it a durable choice for both interior and exterior applications. In cosmetics, it meets the requirements of global regulatory bodies for use as a colorant.
At Shree Krishna Ultramarine Pigments (P) Limited, Pigment Violet 15 is produced with strict process controls to ensure shade consistency. Our violet pigment is available in multiple grades for different applications including plastics, paints, textiles, and cosmetics.
Buyers evaluating PV15 should request technical data sheets that include color strength, particle size distribution, and application-specific test results. SKU Pigments provides comprehensive documentation to support customers’ formulation and regulatory compliance needs.
