Hoover Color’s Van Dyke Browns are synthentic Brown Iron Oxides, which can range in color from a deep reddish brown to a cloudy mild black. They possess limited heat stability. Hoover Color offers a variety of three standard Synthetic Van Dyke Browns. Imported Van Dyke Brown from Germany is available, along with a well-established substitute, 778BN Brown.  The substitute has better dispersion characteristics and color consistency than the real Van Dyke.  Hoover Color has recently introduced to the market a water soluble extract from Van Dyke Brown: our 925 Brown.  This new material should help stain manufactures develop better water-based stains in order to deal with tighter environmental regulations.

General Use Grades - These products can be used in any application that meets with the physical limitations outlined above.

778BN Brown (Synthetic- C.I. Pigment Brown 9) - A deep brownish black shade excellent for stains.

925 Brown (Water Soluble Extract- C.I. Pigment Brown 9) - A medium brown shade with reddish undertones excellent for stains.

Van Dyke Brown “M” - A deep brownish black shade similar to 778BN excellent for stains.
