Description

Solvent Yellow 114 is a high-performance, oil-soluble monoazo dye renowned for its strong, clean yellow hue and excellent solubility in non-polar media. This compound is a critical component for industries requiring durable, non-bleeding coloration in hydrophobic systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, printing inks, and specialty coatings sectors seeking consistent, high-strength pigmentation. The product is supplied as a fine powder, ensuring ease of dispersion and batch-to-batch uniformity for reliable integration into final formulations.

Application

• Plastics Coloring: A primary colorant for polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), and other engineering thermoplastics, providing excellent heat stability and lightfastness.
• Printing Inks: Used in solvent-based and oil-based inks for packaging, publications, and specialty printing due to its strong tinctorial strength and good printability.
• Industrial Coatings: Imparts a vivid yellow color to industrial paints, lacquers, and wood stains, offering good solvent compatibility and durability.
• Waxes & Polishes: Employed in the coloration of candles, shoe polishes, and floor waxes where oil solubility is paramount.
• Lubricants & Greases: Acts as an identification marker or tracer dye in petroleum-based lubricants and greases.
• Specialty Chemicals: Serves as an intermediate or colorant in the synthesis of other chemical products and masterbatches.
