Solvent Violet 36

Solvent Violet 36 is an organic solvent dye belonging to the anthraquinone family, primarily used for coloring plastics, synthetic fibers, printing inks, coatings, and other non-polar materials. It offers excellent color strength, outstanding lightfastness, and good heat stability, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications. Its vivid violet shade is stable under various processing conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal migration in end products.

Key Characteristics and Advantages

Solvent Violet 36 owes its excellent performance to its specific molecular configuration, with the following core advantages :

• ‍Distinctive Chromaticity: It displays a vivid reddish-violet hue with high color saturation. The relative color strength is maintained at 100±2 (compared to the standard sample), and the color rendering index exceeds 95, making it stand out in various coloring scenarios.
• Outstanding Light and Weather Resistance: Its light fastness reaches grade 7-8 in concentrated color applications and grade 6-7 in dilute systems, which is 1-2 grades higher than ordinary violet solvents. The weather resistance test shows no obvious fading after 1000 hours of artificial aging (Xenon lamp test) .
• Excellent Thermal Stability: With a decomposition temperature of over 350℃, it can tolerate processing temperatures up to 320℃ in engineering plastics like PC and PBT, without thermal discoloration or degradation.
• Good Solubility and Compatibility: Insoluble in water (solubility <0.01 g/L at 25℃) but highly soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, and ketones. It has strong compatibility with various resins, avoiding phase separation issues.
• Low Toxicity and Environmental Friendliness: Compliant with EU REACH regulations, its heavy metal content (lead ≤10 mg/kg, cadmium ≤5 mg/kg) meets the highest environmental standards, suitable for food contact and toy materials.‍
