Solvent Red 1 is a high-purity oil-soluble red dye widely used in plastics, inks, coatings, and waxes. It provides brilliant red shade, excellent thermal resistance, and strong light fastness.

Key Characteristics

  • Oil-soluble solvent dye, insoluble in water
  • Bright red to bluish-red shade with good transparency
  • Good tinting strength and color uniformity
  • Suitable for solvent-based systems and polymer processing
  • Industrial-grade product, not intended for food or feed use

Performance Notes

Solvent Red 1 exhibits good compatibility with many organic solvents and polymer carriers. Heat and light fastness depend on the application system, processing temperature and end-use conditions. Pre-testing is recommended for critical applications.

Applications

Mainly used in coloring different kinds of plastics,such as PS,HIPS,ABS,PMMA,AS,PET,RPVC,SAN,etc.also used in coloring of grease, ink, paint, wax and stationery.
