[3][4] Violet 29 is used in watercolors, acrylic paints, automotive paints, inks for printing and packaging, cleaning and washing agents, pharmaceuticals, solar cells, paper, sporting goods, industrial carpeting, and food packaging.

Violet 29 is highly insoluble in water and octanol, so any exposure routes are considered to be by inhalation of dust.

Violet 29 is under risk evaluation review by the EPA as part of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

[7] However, the EPA found an "unreasonable risk" to workers from the domestic manufacturing or import of the chemical and nearly all uses and disposal.

[7] This finding under the TSCA is for alveolar hyperplasia, inflammatory and morphological changes in the lower respiratory tract for chronic inhalation exposures.
