Basic (Cationic) Dyes
Methyl Violet
Vivid violet cationic coloration for industrial applications.
Overview
Methyl Violet is a cationic violet dye used where vivid violet coloration is required. The exact commercial composition can vary within the methyl violet family, so Apex's supplied product identity should be used for final chemical details. The methyl violet family covers a range of tetra-, penta-, and hexamethylated pararosaniline salts, of which crystal violet (methyl violet 10B) is the best known, and the exact methylation level affects both shade and strength.
