Agent Purple

The name comes from the purple stripe painted on the barrels to identify the contents.

Agent Purple and Orange were also used to clear brush in Canada.

A sample of Agent Purple archived at Eglin Air Force Base had an even higher content of 45 ppm TCDD.

[8] Agent Purple was used only in the earliest stages of the spraying program, between 1962 and 1965 as well as in earlier tests conducted by the US military outside of Vietnam.

[10] When the need to clear brush around CFB Gagetown in Canada arose, quantities of Agent Purple and Agent Orange were also sprayed there in a testing program during 1966 and 1967.
