Description

Red 2 CAS NO 1342-14-9 is a synthetic organic colorant belonging to the azo dye class, valued for its vibrant and stable red hue. This compound is essential for providing consistent, high-intensity coloration in a variety of industrial applications. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and textile industries where durable and reliable pigmentation is a critical requirement.

Application

• Primary colorant for the mass coloration of polyolefins (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene) and other thermoplastics.
• Pigment for industrial coatings, inks, and masterbatches, offering good dispersion and weather resistance.
• Dye for synthetic fibers and textiles, particularly where a bright red shade is desired.
• Coloring agent for specialty paper products and decorative laminates.
• Used in the manufacture of colored rubber and elastomeric goods.
• Potential applications in the coloration of soaps, detergents, and other household chemicals (subject to regional regulatory approval).
