Solvent Red 179

Name: Solvent Red 179
Availability: InStock

Yellowish Transparent Red — Solvent Red 179 is a high-strength solvent dye widely used for transparent coloration of plastics, engineering polymers and synthetic fibers (including PET and PA spinning). It offers strong tinting, good heat and light resistance and excellent solubility in common organic solvents.

TRADE NAME:

Transparent Red E2G,Amaplast Red RP,Kayaset Red A-2G,Wenawax Red X2GP,Macrolex Red E2G,Oplas Red 338,Permalex Red Mauve,Sandoplast Red 2G,Sumiplast Red H4GR

Key features

Yellowish transparent red shade with bright clarity and high tinting strength
Good thermal stability suitable for many plastic processing conditions
Moderate to good lightfastness depending on binder/matrix
Wide compatibility with engineering plastics and polyester/nylon fiber spinning
Low migration and reliable batch-to-batch consistency

Advantages

Low dosage required because of high tinctorial strength → cost efficient
Consistent color across extrusion, injection molding and solvent formulations
Suitable for fiber dyeing (pre-spinning) and masterbatch production
Good solubility in hydrocarbon/ester/ketone systems — easy formulation into inks & coatings

Typical uses

Coloring engineering plastics (ABS, PS, PC, PBT, PMMA)
Color masterbatches and direct coloring in extrusion/injection molding
Fiber dyeing / PET and PA6 spinning
Solvent-based inks, lacquers and specialty coatings
Waxes, candles and non-food industrial oils (where allowed)

Usage & handling notes

Due to high tinctorial strength, typical loading is low and application-specific — perform lab trials to determine optimal dosage. Consult supplier TDS and SDS for recommended solvents, dispersion methods, maximum processing temperatures and safety handling. Not for food or medical use unless explicitly certified.
