Description

Solvent Red 12 is a high-purity, light-sensitive organic dye belonging to the solvent dye class, identified by CAS No. 61725-77-7. It is valued for its excellent solubility in non-polar to moderately polar organic solvents, providing strong, vivid coloration. This product is essential for industries requiring durable and stable colorants for non-aqueous systems, including plastics, inks, and specialty coatings.

Application

• Primary colorant for plastics and synthetic fibers, including polystyrene, acrylics, and polycarbonates.
• Formulation of printing inks for flexographic, gravure, and specialty packaging applications.
• Coloration of industrial coatings, lacquers, and wood stains where solvent compatibility is critical.
• Manufacturing of colored waxes, polishes, and fuel markers.
• Tinting agent for oils, lubricants, and greases for identification purposes.
• Used in the production of transparent color filters and dyed films for optical applications.
