Solvent Black 28

Solvent Black 28 is metal complex solvent dye, with excellent solubility, wide range of solvent selection. It has good compatibility with various resins, bright colors, acid and alkali resistance and heat resistance. 

Solvent Black 28 is an oil-soluble black dye widely used in coloring plastics, synthetic fibers, waxes, oils, and other hydrophobic materials. It offers deep black shades with excellent solubility in organic solvents and high compatibility with a variety of non-polar media. Due to its strong coloring strength, stability, and resistance to fading, it is suitable for applications in industrial coatings, printing inks, leather finishes, and petroleum products.

Characteristics and Advantages

Solvent Black 28 stands out among many solvent dyes due to its comprehensive performance advantages, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  • Excellent stability: Due to its chemical structure of azo chromium complex, the coordination bond between azo dye molecules and chromium ions enhances its overall stability. Its heat resistance can reach at least 200°C, and it can maintain stable performance even when heated at 200°C for 10 minutes; the light fastness grade is 5-8, and most products are concentrated in 6-7 grade, which has good anti-fading ability under light conditions. At the same time, it has good acid and alkali resistance (grade 5) and water resistance (grade 5), and is not easy to decompose or discolor under general chemical environment.
  • Outstanding solubility and compatibility: As a solvent dye, it has excellent solubility in most organic solvents, especially in ketones. For example, its solubility in butanone can reach 400-500 g/L, in cyclohexanone and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) can also reach 400-500 g/L; in alcohols, the solubility in ethanol is 130-300 g/L, and in isopropanol is 60-180 g/L; it also has good solubility in mixed solvents (200 g/L) and propylene glycol methyl ether (150-200 g/L). In addition, it has good compatibility with most resins, which lays a foundation for its wide application in various coating and ink systems.
  • Strong coloring performance: It has high color strength and tinting power, the color strength is usually controlled at 100±3%, and the tinting strength is 100-105%, which can achieve rich and uniform coloring effect with a small amount of addition. At the same time, the dyed products have high gloss and transparency, especially suitable for transparent coating systems.
  • Low impurity content: The quality control of qualified products is strict. The moisture content is generally ≤2.0% (some high-quality products can be ≤0.5%), the insoluble matter content ≤1.0%, the water-soluble matter ≤1.0% (high-quality products ≤0.5%), and the total heavy metal content is controlled below 50 ppm, which meets the requirements of industrial safety and environmental protection to a certain extent.‍

Application:

main used for Wood stains, Aluminium, Polyester & metals foils, Printing inks, Stationery inks, Glass, Plastic & Metal coatings, Leather & Plastic coloration/finishing etc.

What are the specific application fields of Solvent Black 28?

Benefiting from its excellent comprehensive performance, Solvent Black 28 is widely used in coating, ink, plastic processing and other industries, covering multiple product types:

Coating industry: 

It is mainly used in solvent-based coatings, including wood stains, metal coatings (aluminum foil coloring, low-temperature baking metal finishes), plastic coatings (vacuum plating plastic coatings) and transparent coatings. Its good solubility and transparency make the coating color uniform and glossy.

Ink industry: 

It is an important colorant for various solvent-based inks, such as printing inks (flexographic/gravure inks, screen printing inks), stationery inks (ballpoint pen inks) and aluminum foil printing inks. Its high coloring strength and light fastness ensure the vividness and durability of the ink color.

Hot stamping and foil coloring: 

It is specially used for coloring aluminum foil and hot stamping foil, which can give the foil a stable deep black color and meet the decorative needs of packaging and printing fields.

Other fields: 

It is also used in leather finishing, shoe polish coloring and other scenarios, and can provide uniform and durable coloring effect for leather and shoe polish products.
