What is Solvent Yellow 93?

Solvent Yellow 93 is a yellow solvent dye identified as C.I. 48160 and CAS No. 4702-90-3. It is a greenish-yellow colorant supplied by Fineland Chem under the product code SolCore®3193.

As a solvent dye, Solvent Yellow 93 is soluble in selected organic solvents and is designed to develop transparent yellow coloration in compatible polymer systems. Unlike an insoluble pigment, a solvent dye dissolves in the processing medium rather than remaining as solid pigment particles.

The Fineland Chem grade is primarily recommended for plastic coloration, particularly PS, SAN, PMMA and PC, with potential use in PET. It combines good color strength, high heat resistance and good solubility in selected organic solvents.

Product Technical Data

Solvent Yellow 93 SolCore®3193       ⬇️TDS

Solvent Yellow 93 SolCore® 3193 is a greenish-yellow solvent dye designed for polyester applications. It is mainly used for polyester melt coloration and polyester masterbatch production. With excellent solubility in organic solvents and outstanding heat resistance up to 300°C, it ensures stable color performance during high-temperature processing.

Typical Applications

Solvent Yellow 93 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 hydrocarbon-based liquids, the dye provides clear color identification, while in plastics it creates transparent yellow shades without affecting material clarity.

Key Performance Properties

1. Excellent Solubility in Hydrocarbon Systems

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

2. Strong Tinting Strength

Solvent Yellow 93 offers high color intensity even at relatively low dosage levels, making it efficient for industrial formulations.

3. Transparent Coloration

Unlike pigments, solvent dyes provide transparent coloration, making them suitable for applications where clarity is important.

4. Good Processing Stability

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

Advantage

1. Suitable for Fuel and Oil Identification

The dye is commonly used to provide visible yellow coloration in fuels and lubricants for identification purposes.

2. Transparent Color Development

It produces bright yellow shades while maintaining transparency in compatible materials.

3. Easy Processing

Because the dye dissolves directly in compatible systems, dispersion steps required for pigments are not necessary.

Typical Limitations

1. Moderate Lightfastness

Compared with high-performance pigments, solvent dyes typically provide lower resistance to long-term outdoor exposure.

2. Possible Migration in Certain Plastics

Migration resistance depends on the compatibility between the dye and the polymer system.

3. Limited Hiding Power

As a dye, it does not provide opacity and is not suitable for applications requiring strong covering power.

Buyer Guidance

When selecting solvent dyes for industrial use, buyers should confirm:

  • Target application (fuel, lubricants, plastics, etc.)

  • Solubility requirements

  • Processing temperature

  • Desired shade intensity

  • Regulatory compliance requirements

Providing clear application information helps suppliers recommend suitable grades and usage conditions.

FAQ

1. What is Solvent Yellow 93 mainly used for?

It is commonly used for coloring fuels, lubricants, plastics, waxes, and other hydrocarbon-based systems.

2. Is it soluble in oils and fuels?

Yes. The dye dissolves well in many oils, fuels, and organic solvents.

3. Can it be used in plastics?

Yes. It can provide transparent yellow coloration in compatible thermoplastic materials.

4. How does it differ from yellow pigments?

Solvent dyes dissolve in the medium and produce transparent coloration, while pigments remain dispersed and provide opacity.

5. Is it suitable for outdoor coatings?

It is generally not recommended for long-term outdoor exposure due to moderate lightfastness compared with pigment systems.
