Description

Solvent Blue 36 is a high-performance, oil-soluble anthraquinone dye known for its excellent solubility in non-polar organic media and strong, vibrant blue coloration. This product matters for industrial users requiring consistent, high-strength tinting and coloration of plastics, fuels, and synthetic materials. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the plastics, printing ink, and specialty chemical sectors for applications demanding lightfastness and thermal stability.

Application

• Primary coloration of hydrocarbon-based products such as lubricating oils and fuels for identification and branding.
• Tinting and masterbatch production for engineering plastics (e.g., polystyrene, ABS) and synthetic fibers.
• Manufacture of high-quality printing inks, especially for specialty and security printing applications.
• Coloration of waxes, polishes, and other non-polar industrial formulations.
• As a colorant in the production of wood stains and coatings where oil solubility is required.
• Used in the formulation of ballpoint pen inks and other writing instruments.
