Description

Solvent Yellow 16 is a high-performance, oil-soluble azo dye known for its bright, stable yellow hue. It is a critical component for imparting consistent and durable coloration in non-aqueous systems where water resistance and lightfastness are paramount. This product is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, printing ink, and industrial coatings sectors seeking reliable pigmentation for polymers, resins, and organic solvents.

Application

• Plastics and Polymer Coloring: Primary application for coloring polystyrene, ABS, polycarbonate, and other engineering plastics.
• Printing Inks: Used in solvent-based flexographic and gravure inks for packaging and publications.
• Industrial Coatings and Paints: Provides coloration for automotive refinish paints, industrial maintenance coatings, and wood stains.
• Wax and Grease Markers: Employed as a colorant in marking crayons, chalks, and lubricants.
• Oil-based Inks and Stains: Suitable for coloring wood stains, leather finishes, and other oil-phase products.
• Specialty Chemical Formulations: Used in research and development for creating colored masterbatches and functional chemical mixtures.
