Solvent Yellow 2 Key benefits

  • High tinting strength in organic solvents and polymer matrices.
  • Good compatibility with many resins and waxes.
  • Useful as a pH indicator in specific lab applications (color change in acidic conditions).

Solvent Yellow 2 Application

mainly used in coloring different plastics,such as PS,HIPS,RPVC,PMMA,SAN,etc, also used in coloring shoes cream,floor wax,resin, printing inks,and oil products, also used in making fireworks and transparent paints.

Formulation tips

  • Pre-disperse solvent dyes in a suitable carrier resin or solvent at elevated temperature under agitation to achieve uniform color.
  • Avoid strong acids or alkalines during processing which may cause dye degradation or color shift.
  • Test final substrate for light and heat fastness under expected service conditions.
