Brilliant Fluorescent Green for Tracing & Specialty Plastics

Solvent Green 5 is a highly fluorescent dye from the pyranine class, also known as D&C Green 8. It is unique among solvent dyes for its high solubility in water and polar solvents. It produces an intensely brilliant, yellowish-green fluorescence, making it an exceptional tracer dye. In the context of plastics, it is used to create vibrant, eye-catching fluorescent effects in certain polymers, particularly cast acrylic (PMMA).

Applications
  • Plastics Coloring: Used to create strong fluorescent green effects in cast acrylic (PMMA) sheets and objects.
  • Tracer Dyes: A primary use is as a leak detection dye in industrial systems, antifreeze, and hydraulic fluids.
  • Cosmetics & Soaps: Its water solubility allows it to be used in externally applied cosmetics, soaps, and detergents.
  • Ink Formulation: Used for creating fluorescent highlighting and marking inks.
