Acid Blue 113 CAS 3351-05-1

What is Acid Blue 113 CAS 3351-05-1?

Acid Blue 113 CAS 3351-05-1 is a water-soluble diazo dye typically formulated as a sodium salt. Supplied as a very dark blue to black solid powder, it dissolves efficiently in water to produce a distinct purplish-navy blue solution. Manufactured through a precise sequence of diazo coupling reactions involving naphthalen-1-amine and benzenesulfonic acid derivatives, it possesses a high chemical affinity for protein-based and polyamide fibers. Beyond commercial fabric dyeing, it is also highly valued as a staining agent in specific hematological and histological diagnostic assays.

Specifications

Features

• Distinct Navy Blue Shade – Delivers a deep, high-strength red-light navy blue color, ensuring robust and consistent visual payoff across various colored substrates.
• High Aqueous Solubility – Dissolves readily in water and slightly in ethanol and DMSO, allowing for seamless integration into liquid dye baths and specialized biological staining solutions.
• Predictable Chemical Reactivity – Exhibits distinct visual color shifts in extreme pH environments, changing to dark green-light blue in sulfuric acid and purplish-red in thick sodium hydroxide.

Applications

• Textile & Tannery Dyeing – Extensively utilized in the commercial textile industry for dyeing natural wool, silk, and synthetic polyamide fibers, as well as providing deep coloration in leather processing.
• Medical & Diagnostic Research – Applied as a critical biological shading agent in histology, hematology, and the precise manufacturing of specialized medical diagnostic assays.
• Environmental Degradation Studies – Because of its complex and resilient diazo structure, it frequently serves as a reference pollutant in laboratory studies focused on the adsorption and mineralization of aromatic amines from industrial effluents.
