Perylene maroon is strongly staining with high tinting strength, so add it to mixtures little by little. Thin layers give deep, transparent burgundy glazes for shadows and rich reds. Keep the jar closed: organic pigment powders are light and spread easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout perylene burgundy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerylene dyes, a group of red and violet synthetic vat dyes, were discovered around 1912, and perylene has been used as an artists' pigment since 1957. Perylene maroon is made from perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride and methylamine. Although it is sometimes sold as \"anthraquinone\" or \"alizarin\", it is a different compound from alizarin, the madder dye first synthesized by Graebe and Liebermann in 1868.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle dry pigment with care: avoid breathing the dust and contact with eyes. Wear a dust mask (FFP2\/N95) and gloves when working with the powder, work in a well-ventilated area and wipe up spills with a damp cloth. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working; wash your hands afterwards. Keep away from children and pets. For artistic and technical use only — not for cosmetics, food or tattoos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Perylene Burgundy the same as alizarin crimson?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Alizarin is a dihydroxyanthraquinone, originally the dye of madder root; Perylene Burgundy is a perylene pigment (PR179). It is often used as a substitute for alizarin crimson, though not the exact shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Perylene Burgundy lightfast?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
