Acid Violet 17 CAS 4129-84-4

What is Acid Violet 17 CAS 4129-84-4?

Acid Violet 17 CAS 4129-84-4 is an organic anionic dye formulated as a water-soluble sodium salt. Typically supplied as a dark navy blue or very dark purple solid powder, it dissolves in water and ethanol to produce a vibrant blue-purple solution. Manufactured through a complex condensation and oxidation process involving benzenesulfonic acid derivatives and N,N-diethylbenzenamine, it exhibits a strong chemical affinity for specific proteins and animal fibers. This robust binding capacity makes it an essential reagent in laboratory electrophoresis, as well as a reliable industrial colorant for natural wool and leather products.
