About This Product
For a permanent sample, the pigment is mixed with a clear binder such as an acrylic base, starting with a 50:50 trial mix, and applied to a surface. Once dry, the sample can be taken into sunlight or held under UV light to show the colour appear, then moved away to watch it fade. Besides buyers across India, the Photochromic Pigment Magenta can be exported to institutions in Cabo Verde, Belgium, Mozambique, Afghanistan and Venezuela.
