Solvent Orange 14 25kg Drum
Solvent Orange 14 is a synthetic azo dye widely used for coloring oils, waxes, plastics, and other non-polar substrates. It appears as an orange-red powder or granules and exhibits excellent solubility in organic solvents and oils, delivering bright, durable coloration. Packaged in a 25kg drum, this dye is favored in industrial applications requiring vibrant orange hues in solvent-based systems.
