1.Product Description
Discover the Legacy of Brilliance with Acid Orange 7.
Acid Orange 7 stands as the quintessential monoazo dye for the textile and leather industries, renowned for delivering a brilliant, fiery orange hue with exceptional build-up and levelling properties. Unlike complex metal-complex dyes, this vibrant powder offers a "true" orange tone (often described as Golden Orange or Rich Mandarin) that is ideal for creating bright solids or as a primary component for brown and scarlet compound shades.
In the modern dye house, Acid Orange 7 is celebrated for its high solubility and rapid diffusion rate, ensuring consistent penetration on challenging substrates like woven nylon and dense wool tops. Its chemistry allows for excellent migration, making it the preferred choice for level dyeing where uniformity is non-negotiable. Beyond textiles, this grade is also engineered for the leather finishing industry, where its intense clarity enhances the natural grain of aniline leathers without masking texture.

3.Product Application (Industry Usage Guide)
Textile Industry (Wool & Nylon):
Acid Orange 7 is primarily applied via exhaust dyeing, winch, and package dyeing methods. It is conducted in a pH range of 4.0 - 6.0 (acetic or sulfuric acid) to maximize exhaustion. Due to its excellent migration index, it is frequently used in combination with acetic acid and Glauber's salt to achieve uniform pastel shades, effectively covering barre effects on nylon.
Leather Finishing:
In leather applications, this product is utilized as a spray dye or drum dye for finished leathers and wet-blue stocks. It offers deep penetration while maintaining the natural "pull-up" effect on aniline leathers. The result is a vivid, light-fast orange that does not crack or plate out during the finishing process.
Inks & Specialties:
Beyond fibers, it serves as a colorant for water-based inks, wood stains, and even anodized aluminum, where its sulfonate group forms a stable bond with the oxidized metal surface.
4.Features (Why Choose Our Acid Orange 7?)
Superior Migration & Levelling: Engineered with a controlled particle size distribution to prevent rapid strike; allows dyes to migrate slowly for the perfect uniform finish, even on tightly twisted yarns.
High Purity Formulation: Our unique spray-drying process results in low dust and low salt content, reducing effluent load and ensuring a safer working environment compared to standard grade powders.
pH Versatility: Maintains stable color value across a wide pH range (3.0 - 7.0), offering dyers flexibility in process adjustments without risking shade change.
Bleed Fastness Optimization: Specifically refined for leather to minimize "wet crocking" and bleeding in finished leather goods when exposed to moisture.
Eco-Conscious Profile: Manufactured in compliance with modern wastewater treatment standards; free from restricted aryl amines (non-carcinogenic base).
