Solvent Dyes

The solvent dyes are used as solution in an organic solvent and are used to color organic solvents, hydrocarbon fuels, waxes, lubricants, plastics, and hydrocarbon-based non-polar material. The molecules of these dyes are non-polar or have little polarity hence does not undergoes ionization. These are insoluble in water and form a colloidal solution in solvents. These are available as basic dyes with poor light fastness and metal complex based which have good light fastness. The range of dyes is supplied in bulk and is used for gold imitation as well as transparent metallic effects over metallized polyester films. These dyes are also used in marking inks, inkjet inks and glass coloration.
