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: 110-140Β°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 β€œanodization” 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: Review changed - Recommended! - 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: For metal , use metal dye - Ph the water before adding dye and heat to the high end. Great result. More pink the first time I added a tiny bit of the Aqua color and a deep violet- magenta came out. ## Features - All instructions and key dye features are labeled on the bottle for easy reference, including a color swatch. - Packaged in a UV protective bottle to ensure a long and stable shelf-life of unused dye. - THIS DYE IS SHIPPED IN POWDER FORM TO INCREASE SHELF LIFE.

Great result. More pink the first time I added a tiny bit of the Aqua color and a deep violet- magenta came out. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning color and easy to use *by E***K on October 13, 2020* One thing to mention is that the bottles only have about 2 table spoons of pigment. But trust me thats enough. The black is the only bottle that is full to the top with pigment powder. I tried it out and the color is stunning. Excellent customer service. Will buy again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Professional Aluminum Anodizing Pigment Dyes | Violet E-3D | Light to Rich Purple| Powder Concentrate Makes 7.6 Liters or 2 Gallons - Professional Aluminum Anodizing Pigment Dyes | Blue E-G | Light to Rich Blue | Powder Concentrate Makes 7.6 Liters or 2 Gallons - Aluminum Anodizing Pigment Dye Sealer MT-90 - Liquid Nickel Acetate --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80345577-professional-aluminum-anodizing-pigment-dyes-violet-e-3d-light-to](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80345577-professional-aluminum-anodizing-pigment-dyes-violet-e-3d-light-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
