Technical Data

Fastness to bleeding

No staining of distilled water, 2% by weight acetic acid, 10% by volume ethanol, coconut oil or peanut oil in our test on 0.1% dyeing of PS, ABS, SAN, PMMA, PC, PET and PVC-U. The tests were carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the German BfR [for plastic applications (saturated strips of filter paper, 5h at 50°C)].

Purity

This dyestuff meets current purity requirements for dyeing household utensils and toys in Europe.
