Application
Manganese Violet (PV16, C.I. 77742, ammonium manganese(III) pyrophosphate) is a high-purity red‑shade inorganic pigment known for its vibrant hue, excellent heat stability (up to 250 °C), outstanding lightfastness, and good acid resistance. As a non‑toxic and FDA‑approved color additive, it is widely used in cosmetics, including eye shadows, lipsticks, mascaras, eyeliners, blushers, and body paints, and is permanently listed for eye‑area applications under FDA 21 CFR 73.2775 and compliant with EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. In the plastics industry, Manganese Violet serves as a tinting agent to counter yellowing in white polymers and is used in masterbatches and engineering plastics. It is also applied in industrial paints, artists‘ colors, and coatings, where its good dispersibility ensures batch‑to‑batch consistency.
