Solvent Red 242 （C.I. 73300）is a high-performance, thioindigo-based oil-soluble fluorescent solvent red dyes. It features a pristine, clean base tone free from any yellowish haze. With exceptional melt stability, it is a premium colorant specifically designed for high-temperature plastics, weather-resistant inks, and transparent wood grain staining.

This product boasts top-tier fastness to light, heat, and solvents, making it highly suitable for demanding conditions such as long-term display, mild outdoor use, and high-temperature extrusion or injection molding. When blended with solvent yellow dyes, it maintains uniform color performance without offsetting its outstanding fastness metrics. Furthermore, it exhibits minimal batch-to-batch color variation, ensuring superior color matching stability for large-scale manufacturing.
