Description

Solvent Yellow 96 is a high-performance, oil-soluble azo dye widely recognized for its excellent tinctorial strength and stability in non-polar media. This product is essential for providing a clean, bright yellow hue in applications where color uniformity and resistance to migration are critical. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, printing inks, and industrial coatings sectors seeking reliable and consistent coloration.

Application

• Primary colorant for the mass coloration of polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), and other engineering plastics.
• Pigment for flexographic and gravure printing inks, especially for packaging materials.
• Coloring agent in industrial and decorative coatings, including solvent-based systems.
• Dye for specialty waxes, greases, and lubricants for identification purposes.
• Tinting of synthetic fibers during the polymer melt stage.
• Color concentrate and masterbatch production for the plastics industry.
