Description

Solvent Orange 14 is a high-purity, oil-soluble azo dye known for its strong, vibrant orange color. This compound matters for its excellent solubility in non-polar organic solvents and its stability in various industrial formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the plastics, wax, fuel, and lubricant industries for coloring applications, as well as by laboratories for staining and analytical purposes.

Application

• Primary coloring agent for hydrocarbon-based fuels and lubricating oils.
• Staining and identification of plastics, synthetic fibers, and waxes.
• Manufacture of colored printing inks for specialty applications.
• Coloration of polishes, wood stains, and related solvent-based coatings.
• Laboratory reagent for microscopy and histology staining procedures.
• Marker or tracer dye in petrochemical research and development.
