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.
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.

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.
The dye dissolves effectively in fuels, oils, and many organic solvents, allowing uniform coloration without particle dispersion.
Solvent Yellow 93 offers high color intensity even at relatively low dosage levels, making it efficient for industrial formulations.
Unlike pigments, solvent dyes provide transparent coloration, making them suitable for applications where clarity is important.
The dye maintains stable color performance during typical industrial processing conditions used in oils and thermoplastic systems.
The dye is commonly used to provide visible yellow coloration in fuels and lubricants for identification purposes.
It produces bright yellow shades while maintaining transparency in compatible materials.
Because the dye dissolves directly in compatible systems, dispersion steps required for pigments are not necessary.
Compared with high-performance pigments, solvent dyes typically provide lower resistance to long-term outdoor exposure.
Migration resistance depends on the compatibility between the dye and the polymer system.
As a dye, it does not provide opacity and is not suitable for applications requiring strong covering power.

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.

Fineland Chem supplies industrial colorants and solvent dyes for applications including fuels, lubricants, plastics, and hydrocarbon systems.
Products are manufactured under controlled quality standards to ensure stable color strength, solubility performance, and batch consistency. Technical communication and export support are available for international customers.
It is commonly used for coloring fuels, lubricants, plastics, waxes, and other hydrocarbon-based systems.
Yes. The dye dissolves well in many oils, fuels, and organic solvents.
Yes. It can provide transparent yellow coloration in compatible thermoplastic materials.
Solvent dyes dissolve in the medium and produce transparent coloration, while pigments remain dispersed and provide opacity.
It is generally not recommended for long-term outdoor exposure due to moderate lightfastness compared with pigment systems.
