Ultramarine blue / violet (UMB) is a pigment based on sodium aluminium sulphosilicates. The sodium content determines the tone of the pigment.
UMB is the brightest blue/violet pigment and has very good colourfastness.
Characteristics
Due to its excellent UV- and weather-resistant properties UMB can be used both indoors and outdoors. UBM pigment is unstable in a strong acidic environment. In a strong alkaline environment, the sodium ions in the UMB can be replaced by calcium ions from cement for instance and the blue tint will disappear. It is therefore not advisable to use UMB in cement-based uses. Coated UMB pigments can prevent this exchange of ions; however, protracted mixing in cement applications could damage this coating and result in discolouration UMB is non toxic. UMB is used widely as an optical whitener in washing detergents for instance.
