Hostaperm Red E3B is a very opaque, yellow shade quinacridone pigment with the best fastness properties of this group of pigments. It is substantially more opaque and slightly yellower than Hostaperm Red E5B 02, which is crystallographically and chemically identical. Because of its outstanding fastness properties, it can be used in a wide range of concentrations, i. e. both in full shades and as a shading component. It gives brilliant yellowish red when used in combination with opaque organic and inorganic orange pigments.
