Description

Solvent Yellow 160 is a high-performance, oil-soluble azo dye widely recognized for its excellent solubility and stability in non-polar media. This compound is essential for providing a vivid, durable yellow coloration in a variety of industrial applications where lightfastness and chemical resistance are critical. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the plastics, synthetic fibers, and specialty ink sectors for mass coloration and masterbatch production.

Application

• Primary coloration of polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), and ABS plastics.
• Manufacturing of masterbatches and color concentrates for thermoplastics.
• Dyeing of synthetic fibers, including polyester and nylon.
• Coloration of gasoline, lubricants, and waxes for identification purposes.
• Production of specialty printing inks, including flexographic and gravure inks.
• Coloring for wood stains and coatings.
• As a colorant in certain adhesives and sealants.
