What is Solvent Blue 97?

Solvent Blue 97 is an oil-soluble solvent dye used for coloring fuels, lubricants, plastics, waxes, and other hydrocarbon-based materials. As a solvent dye, it dissolves directly in compatible organic media and produces a bright blue transparent coloration.

The dye is valued for its strong tinting strength, good solubility in oils and organic solvents, and stable color performance in industrial formulations. It is widely used in liquid systems for color identification and in thermoplastic materials where transparent blue coloration is required.

Product Technical Data

Solvent Blue 97 CorSol®3697        ⬇️TDS
It is a bright reddish-blue solvent dye designed for plastic coloration. It is mainly used for coloring PS, PVC, PC, and PMMA. With excellent thermal stability up to 300°C, it provides vivid color strength and stable performance during high-temperature processing.

Typical Applications

Solvent Blue 97 is commonly used in the following applications:

  • Fuel coloring

  • Lubricants and industrial oils

  • Wax and hydrocarbon systems

  • Plastics and synthetic resins

  • Industrial inks

  • Specialty coatings

In fuel and lubricant systems, the dye provides clear blue color identification, while in plastics it allows transparent coloration without significantly affecting material clarity.

Key Performance Properties

1. Excellent Solubility in Hydrocarbon Systems

The dye dissolves effectively in fuels, oils, and many organic solvents, enabling uniform coloration without particle dispersion.

2. Strong Tinting Strength

Solvent Blue 97 provides high color intensity even at relatively low dosage levels, making it efficient for industrial formulations.

3. Transparent Coloration

As a solvent dye, it produces clear and bright blue shades suitable for transparent or translucent materials.

4. Good Processing Stability

The dye maintains stable color performance during typical industrial processing conditions in oils and thermoplastic systems.

Advantage

1. Suitable for Fuel and Oil Identification

It is widely used to provide consistent blue coloration in fuel and lubricant systems for identification purposes.

2. Transparent Color Development

The dye creates bright blue coloration while maintaining clarity in compatible materials.

3. Easy Processing

Because it dissolves directly into compatible systems, dispersion steps required for pigments are not necessary.

Typical Limitations

1. Moderate Lightfastness

Solvent dyes generally provide lower resistance to long-term outdoor exposure compared with high-performance pigments.

2. Possible Migration in Some Plastics

Migration resistance depends on compatibility with the specific polymer system.

3. Limited Hiding Power

As a dye, it produces transparent coloration and does not provide strong opacity.
