Description

n-(2-Ethylhexyl)-1-[[2-Methyl-4-[(3-Methylphenyl)Azo]Phenyl]Azo]Naphthalen-2-Amine CAS NO 93964-09-1 is a high-performance, oil-soluble azo dye intermediate. This compound is valued for its ability to impart strong, stable coloration in non-polar matrices, making it a critical component for specialized industrial formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the plastics, synthetic fibers, and specialty ink sectors requiring durable, solvent-based colorants.

Application

• Primary colorant for the mass coloration of polyolefins (PP, PE) and polystyrene.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of high-grade solvent dyes for printing inks and wood stains.
• Pigment for synthetic fibers, including polyester and nylon, during the melt-spinning process.
• Coloring agent for hydrocarbon-based fuels, lubricants, and waxes.
• Used in the production of color filters and other optical components.
• Staining agent for engineering plastics to achieve consistent batch-to-batch color.
