Description

Solvent Red 196 is a high-performance, oil-soluble synthetic dye belonging to the anthraquinone class. This compound is valued for its excellent color strength, stability, and solubility in non-polar organic media, making it a critical component for imparting vibrant, durable coloration. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, inks, coatings, and specialty chemical industries where consistent, high-quality pigmentation is required.

Application

• Primary coloring agent for plastics such as polystyrene, ABS, and polycarbonate.
• Manufacture of high-quality printing inks, including solvent-based and flexographic inks.
• Pigmentation of industrial coatings, lacquers, and wood stains.
• Coloring of waxes, greases, and lubricants for identification purposes.
• Production of colored masterbatches and concentrates for the polymer industry.
• Tinting of fuel and marker dyes for specialized applications.
• Used in the formulation of specialty artists' paints and pigments.
