## Description

READ SDS SHEET PRIOR TO HANDLING AVOID INHALATION, INGESTION, EYE AND SKIN CONTACT KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDRENPurple - Violet E-3D is an anodizing dye. Use Purple - Violet E-3D only on aluminum. It is not intended for use on any other metals or materials. Purple - Violet E-3D can change its shade depending on how the thickness of the anodizing surface and the duration of time in the dye bath. It can be a grayish purple if you do a shorter anodizing cycle. For a longer duration in the anodizing bath and in the dye bath, Purple - Violet E-3D will look like vibrant, bright purple. Make sure to seal with our MT-90 Nickel Acetate sealer directly after dye bath.Purple - Violet E-3D is RoHS compliant and metal free. Specs on Purple - Violet E-3D Concentration:The 80 mL bottle makes 7.6 L (2 gal.) pH - 5.0-6.0 Raise with ammonium hydroxide, lower with acetic acid. Temp: 110-140°F. Light Fastness:4-5 (Lightfastness describes how resistant the dye is to fading when exposed to UV light. 1-8, 8 being exceptional and long lasting under UV light.) Time: 3-10 minutes depending on saturation preference. Experiment with your metal and techniques to achieve your desired shade.When all procedures are followed carefully, anodizing is environmentally friendly. Anodizing is an electrochemical conversion process. Anodizing changes the outer surface of the aluminum. Anodized aluminum has different characteristics than raw aluminum. Some characteristics of anodized aluminum include durability and weight. (It’s lighter weight than stainless steel but the anodized surface provides a tough surface like steel.) The process of “anodization” creates a thick oxide layer. This thick oxide layer makes it very hard, quite scratch resistant and improves its corrosion resistance. It is easier to clean than raw aluminum. Because of its porous nature, anodizing makes it possible to dye the e aluminum many colors.

Review: Original review: Finally got around to opening the package and mixing the dye, and unfortunately instead of purple, the bottle contained orange dye instead. I think I'll just stick with genuine Caswell dyes from now on. Edit - This was my fault for not being thorough, and I've revised my rating accordingly. The dye is bright orange when mixed in water, but anodized parts do in fact come out in a nice shade of purple. My apologies to the seller (and thank you for reaching out to correct a non-existent problem that was my own fault), and I recommend this product for purple-izing your anodized parts.
Review: This dye works very well. Anodized a few parts with this and it absorbs very well in a short period of time. This worked better than more expensive dyes that I’ve used from other suppliers. Haven’t tried any other colours yet.

The color is orange. It didn’t work at all for me. Used distilled water even though it stayed just white. Please help me. What am I doing wrong?
