Description
A large class of azo-type pigments made by combining BON (3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid) with diazotized amines. BON pigments were first synthesized in 1887 and can be made in varying shades of red and violet. BON pigments have poor to good lightfastness and good bleed resistance. They are used in printing inks, plastics, exterior coatings and artists; watercolor paints.
