Description

Originally a Hoechst AG trademark for a line of bright, transparent red synthetic organic pigments. Hansa reds, also called toluidine reds, are based on the reaction of beta-naphthol with 2-nitro-4-toluidine. Toluidine red was first synthesized in 1905. In general, toluidine reds have fair lightfastness and weather resistance, and they have a tendency to bleed. They are used in industrial coatings for air-dried and baked enamels and auto finishes. Toluidine reds are also used in wax crayons, pastels and watercolors.

See also Hansa.
