Description

C.I. Solvent Yellow 162 is a high-performance, oil-soluble monoazo solvent dye widely used for its excellent tinctorial strength and stability. This product is essential for providing a clean, bright yellow coloration to a diverse range of non-polar substrates and materials. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the plastics, inks, coatings, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable and consistent pigmentation.

Application

• Primary coloring agent for a wide range of engineering plastics and thermoplastics such as polystyrene (PS), ABS, and polycarbonate (PC).
• Formulation of high-quality printing inks, including solvent-based inks for packaging and publication.
• Coloration of industrial coatings, wood stains, and automotive refinish products.
• Dyeing of hydrocarbon-based fuels, lubricants, and waxes for identification and aesthetic purposes.
• Used in the coloration of cosmetic products and personal care items where oil solubility is required.
• Manufacturing of colored adhesives and sealants.
• Tinting of cleaning agents and other household or industrial chemical formulations.
