Aminoazobenzenes are a class of compounds that contain the azo group, making them colorful. Azo compounds are used as dyestuffs for fabrics, lacquers and foods. The aminoazobenzene compound known as butter yellow is used to color the margarine. It is one of the first chemicals to be shown to be carcinogenic in animals and to form liver tumors.
Aminoazobenzene appears as an odorless, brownish or orange powder. The expression azobenzene, or simply azo, is often used to denote a broad class of compounds. These azo compounds absorb light strongly and are widely used dyes. Aniline dyes are artificially produced dyes that are a triumph of modern chemistry. The first artificially produced chemical dye was produced from aniline (aminobenzene) and continues to be used today. It is used commercially to dye silk, wool and other proteinaceous fibers.
The following international standards are generally followed in the tests carried out to determine the use properties of certain azo dyestuffs that release aminoazobenzene in textile products:
These standards contain specific methods for detecting the use in various products of certain azo colorants capable of releasing 4-aminoazobenzene. Especially with regard to textiles made from cellulose and protein fibers (eg cotton, viscose, wool, silk), the reducing agent is accessible without extraction or accessible by extraction of the fibers (eg polyester or artificial leather). These methods also detect 4-aminoazobenzene (solvent yellow 1) present in the products as the free amine without reducing pretreatment.
Our organization also provides aminoazobenzene analysis services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
