Solvent Yellow 79

Solvent Yellow 79 is a metal-complex solvent dye (greenish-yellow shade) designed for transparent and tinted systems. It shows excellent solubility in alcohols, ketones and esters, good compatibility with many resins, high tinting strength and improved fastness to light and heat compared with conventional solvent dyes.

Handling, Safety & Storage (summary)

This summary does not replace the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Always consult the SDS before use.

• Avoid inhalation of dust; use local exhaust ventilation and PPE.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizers and ignition sources.
• Keep bags/sealed containers tightly closed to avoid moisture uptake.
• Dispose according to local regulations; avoid release to drains.

How to Use (quick guidance)

For solvent-based coatings: pre-dissolve the dye in a compatible solvent (e.g., ethanol, ethyl acetate, MEK) to make a masterbatch or concentrate before addition. Begin with low dosages and adjust to meet shade/tinting strength requirements. Run lab trials for final formulations.
