What are Solvent Dyes?

Solvent Dyes are organic compounds that are soluble in organic solvents but not in water. They are used as dyestuffs and intermediates in the manufacturing of other organic dyes. They are used to dye various coating and printing applications.


Classification of Solvent Dyes
  • * Metal Complex Dyes
  • * Oil Soluble Dyes
  • * Polymer Soluble Dyes

Features:

Easily dissolve in an organic solvent. They stay insoluble in water.


The molecules of the solvent dyes are acknowledged to be non-polar or polar to a minimum extent. Therefore, they do not go through the process of ionization.


Solvent dyes showcase suitable mild fastness assets, implying that the received color fades very slowly. No residues are acquired at the end of the production process. They convey properly first-rate and consistency of color to exclusive products whilst used with natural solvents. It has a fantastic thermal resistance that lets it offer resistance against corrosion.


Usage:

  1. Used in Wax, candles, and cosmetics.
  2. It is widely used in Wood stains and varnishes in the wood industry.
  3. Used in Ink, ballpoint pens, and printers.
  4. Also used in Acrylic resins.
  5. Solvent Dyes are used in the plastic industry to impart color to various materials, including nylon acrylics, PMMA, styrene, and PETP.

Liquid Solvent Dyes

We manufacture Liquid Solvent dyes HF based. It has good solubility in Aromatic Solvents, Oils, Kerosene, Diesel, Gasoline, Greases, Lubricants, and Fuels. Liquid solvent dyes from huge range set yellow 107 to 124, orange 98, red 19 to 164, Blue 79 to 98, violet 44 and green 33.

Our Petroleum Dyes when blended with fuels and petroleum products do not change the performance of fuels and petroleum products, as these dyes are only used for coloration and for identification. The addition of the our products only bring about the change in colour while keeping rest of the fuel’s qualities unaltered.

Features of Liquid Solvent Dyes

Free from impurities

Unaffected by light, tropical temperatures and hydrolysis

Free from objectionable odour

Solvent Violet

Solvent Green

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are solvent dyes used for?

Solvent dyes are non-polar dyes that dissolve in organic solvents, oils, waxes and plastics but not in water. They are used to colour plastics, inks, coatings, wood stains, waxes, fuels, lubricants and many other non-aqueous products.

  • Plastics: polystyrene, PET, polycarbonate, ABS, acrylic
  • Inks and coatings: marking, ballpoint, stamp and printing inks, lacquers
  • Fuels and lubricants: petrol, diesel, kerosene and oils
  • Others: waxes, candles, shoe polish, wood stains

Colorants Chem Private Limited manufactures and exports solvent dyes from Vasai, Maharashtra, India.

There is no single top brand of solvent dye for plastics. The best choice is a dye with the right chemistry and heat stability for your polymer, from a supplier that provides consistent quality and technical data.

  • Common solvent dyes for plastics: C.I. Solvent Yellow 93 and 114, Solvent Orange 60, Solvent Red 135 and 179, Solvent Violet 13, Solvent Blue 104 and Solvent Green 3
  • Check: heat stability for your processing temperature, light fastness, migration resistance and transparency
  • Request: samples, COA and technical data sheets before selecting a supplier

To choose solvent dyes for ink making, match the dye to your ink's solvent system and resin, then check solubility, shade, light fastness and bleed or migration resistance.

  • Solvent system: alcohol, ketone, ester, glycol ether or oil based
  • Solubility: ask for solubility in g per 100 ml in your solvents
  • Resin compatibility: avoid crystallising or precipitating in the ink
  • Performance: light fastness, strength and print drying
  • Trial: test a small batch in your formulation

Solvent dyes are non-ionic, non-polar, water-insoluble dyes with good solubility in organic solvents, high colour strength and transparent shades. They come from several chemical families, mainly azo, anthraquinone, perinone, quinophthalone and phthalocyanine.

  • Solubility: dissolve in solvents, oils and molten polymers
  • Heat stability: ranges from about 200°C to above 300°C depending on the dye
  • Light fastness: varies from moderate to excellent
  • Appearance: transparent, brilliant shades
  • Migration: varies; test in the final product

To choose solvent dyes for fuel colouring, select dyes that dissolve easily in hydrocarbons at very low dosage, stay stable in storage and do not affect fuel quality. They are typically added at low parts-per-million levels.

  • Common dyes: C.I. Solvent Red 24 and 164, Solvent Yellow 124 and Solvent Blue 35
  • Requirements: full solubility, no sediment, filter compatibility, colour stability
  • Purpose: identification, grade differentiation, tax or adulteration control
  • Compliance: follow local regulations and confirm dosage by testing in your fuel

Choose solvent dyes by defining your medium (plastic, ink, fuel, wax or coating), processing temperature, shade, fastness and regulatory needs, and then test shortlisted dyes in your own system.

  • Medium: what solvent, oil or polymer will carry the dye
  • Process: temperature and residence time
  • Performance: shade, light fastness, migration, transparency
  • Regulatory: food contact, toys, cosmetics or fuel rules where relevant
  • Commercial: cost in use, availability and batch consistency

When handling organic solvent dyes, avoid inhaling dust, wear gloves, goggles and a respirator, work with good ventilation, and follow the Safety Data Sheet. Also check regulations for your end product.

  • Handling: avoid dust, skin contact and ignition sources when using flammable solvents
  • Labelling: follow GHS classification on the SDS
  • Regulatory: check REACH, food-contact rules (such as EU 10/2011 or US FDA), toy safety standards (EN 71-3, ASTM F963) and fuel rules
  • Food: solvent dyes are not food colours and must not be used in food
  • Disposal: dispose of waste according to local regulations

Decide between solvent dye types for ink and coatings by comparing solubility in your solvent, resin compatibility, light fastness and chemical resistance. Metal-complex solvent dyes generally give better light fastness; simple azo solvent dyes are more economical.

  • Alcohol and ketone systems: often use metal-complex or spirit-soluble dyes
  • Hydrocarbon systems: oil-soluble azo or anthraquinone dyes
  • High durability needs: higher-fastness metal-complex or anthraquinone dyes
  • Alternative: if dyes are not fast enough, consider pigments

Before purchasing solvent dyes, check the C.I. name, strength, shade, solubility in your solvent, heat stability, light fastness, melting point, moisture and particle size, and ask for the COA and SDS.

  • Identity: C.I. name and number, chemical class
  • Performance: strength, shade difference, solubility, heat stability, light fastness
  • Physical: melting point, particle size, moisture
  • Documents: COA, SDS, technical data sheet
  • Commercial: packing and batch consistency

Yes. Solvent dyes dissolve readily in oils, fuels and lubricants, which is why they are widely used for colouring petrol, diesel, kerosene, engine oils and greases.

  • Use: grade identification, branding and fuel marking
  • Dosage: typically in low parts per million for fuels; confirm by testing
  • Check: full solubility, stability and absence of sediment
