Typical Applications

Solvent Blue 36 is widely used across multiple industrial sectors:

  • Plastics: PS, ABS, PC, PMMA, PVC, PET and other engineering plastics
  • Printing Inks: Solvent-based inks and packaging inks
  • Coatings and Paints: Industrial coatings and specialty finishes
  • Masterbatch: Plastic color concentrates
  • Fibers and Textiles: Polyester, nylon, acetate fibers
  • Oils and Waxes: Lubricants, fuels, candles, and wax-based systems

Its strong compatibility with organic media makes it suitable for systems where dyes must dissolve rather than disperse.

Key Performance Properties Related to Applications

Color Shade
Provides a bright greenish to deep blue tone with high clarity and transparency.

Solubility
Highly soluble in organic solvents such as toluene, acetone, and benzene, enabling uniform coloration in solvent-based systems.

Heat Resistance
Typically withstands processing temperatures up to around 260°C, suitable for most thermoplastic applications.

Lightfastness
Exhibits good lightfastness (approximately 6–8 depending on system), supporting durability under light exposure.

Chemical Resistance
Shows good resistance to acids, alkalis, and various solvents, maintaining color stability in industrial environments.

Transparency
Provides high transparency, making it suitable for applications requiring clear coloration rather than opacity.

Advantages

1.Strong tinting strength and bright deep-blue shade
It provides high color strength with a vivid, deep-blue hue, allowing efficient coloration even at low dosages.

2. Good dispersion in multiple polymer systems
The dye disperses uniformly in plastics such as PS, PC, ABS, PMMA, and PVC-R, delivering consistent and homogeneous color results.

3. High thermal stability for polymer processing
Its heat resistance supports common processing methods such as extrusion, injection molding, and masterbatch production without color degradation.

Typical Limitations

  • Not Water-Soluble
    Limited use in water-based systems due to poor water solubility.
  • Moderate Weather Resistance
    Outdoor durability depends on formulation and exposure conditions.
  • Potential Migration in Some Systems
    As a dye (not pigment), migration may occur in certain polymers or soft materials.

Buyer Guidance

When selecting Solvent Blue 36, typical evaluation factors include:

  • Required transparency vs. opacity
  • Solvent compatibility and formulation system
  • Processing temperature requirements
  • Lightfastness and durability expectations
  • Compatibility with target polymers or resins
  • Regulatory compliance for end-use applications

Proper testing in the final application system is recommended to ensure suitability.
