Description

Solvent Red 172 is a high-performance, oil-soluble synthetic dye belonging to the anthraquinone class. This product is valued for its excellent color strength, thermal stability, and solubility in a wide range of non-polar organic solvents and polymers. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and specialty ink industries seeking to impart a vivid, durable red coloration to their products.

Application

• Plastics Coloring: A key colorant for engineering plastics (e.g., ABS, PS, PC), polyolefins (PP, PE), and synthetic fibers, offering good migration resistance.
• Industrial Coatings and Paints: Used in solvent-based systems for automotive refinish, industrial maintenance, and decorative coatings.
• Printing Inks: Employed in specialty inks for foil printing, metal decoration, and other applications requiring high solvent resistance.
• Wood Stains and Polishes: Provides transparent, penetrating color in solvent-borne wood treatment formulations.
• Waxes and Greases: Used for coloring lubricants, candles, and polishing compounds.
• Personal Care Products: May be used as a colorant in certain non-aqueous cosmetic formulations, subject to regional regulatory compliance.
