Solvent Green 3(CAS#128-80-3)
Brief introduction
Solvent Green 3 is an organic synthetic dye with the chemical name Methanyl Green 3. The following is a description of the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of solvent green 3:
Quality:
Solvent Green 3 is a powdered crystalline substance, often dark green in color. It has good solubility in water and is also soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols and ether solvents. It also exhibits strong light absorption, especially in the visible region.
Use:
Solvent Green 3 is mainly used as a dye in biological laboratories. It can be used to stain cell, bacterial, and tissue samples for easy observation, research, and analysis. Solvent Green 3 can also be used to print and dye textiles.
Method:
Solvent green 3 can be prepared by synthetic methods. A common method is to react dibenzamide with sodium nitrite under alkaline conditions and then add formic acid to make solvent green3.
Safety Information:
Solvent Green 3 is a relatively safe compound, but the following should still be noted:
Avoid inhaling dust or solutions when using it, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment;
Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and rinse immediately with plenty of water if contacted;
When using and storing, it should be kept away from fire sources and kindling, and avoid contact with oxidants;
Follow safe laboratory operating procedures and dispose of waste properly. If necessary, refer to the Safety Data Sheet of Solvent Green 3 for more detailed safety information.
Application
Solvent Green 3 (Quinizarine Green SS, CI 61565, CAS 128-80-3) is an anthraquinone dye valued for its brilliant bluish-green shade, excellent transparency, and high tinctorial strength. It exhibits outstanding solubility in organic solvents, good heat resistance, excellent lightfastness, and strong migration resistance. In the plastics industry, it is widely used for coloring transparent resins such as PS, ABS, PMMA, PC, PET, PVC, and engineering polymers, enabling superior color consistency in injection molding and masterbatch production. In printing and packaging, Solvent Green 3 is formulated into rotogravure, flexographic, and offset inks, as well as aluminum foil printing, varnishes, and wood stains. It is also employed in industrial coatings, solvent-based paints, lubricants, waxes, and hydrocarbon fuels. For personal care, this non-toxic dye is approved for externally applied cosmetics and medications, including liquid soaps, shampoos, lotions, and skin creams. Additionally, it is used in smoke formulations for training and entertainment purposes.
