Sunset Yellow FCF

Infuse your industrial and technical projects with the captivating vibrancy of orange-yellow using our Sunset Yellow FCF CI 15985 Non-FDA Industrial Dye Powder. Known also by its E-number E-110 and CAS 2783-94-0, this high-performance synthetic azo dye is celebrated for its intense orange-yellow coloration and exceptional solubility in water.

Crucially, this product is explicitly designated as “Non-FDA” for a fundamental reason: Sunset Yellow FCF (E-110) is NOT approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food, drug, or cosmetic products within the United States. While its aluminum lake form (FD&C Yellow 6 Aluminum Lake) is FDA approved, the soluble dye form as E-110 is not for general food, drug, or cosmetic use. While it may be permitted as E-110 in certain other countries (e.g., parts of Europe) with specific restrictions, for sales within the U.S. and under the “Non-FDA” classification, this product is NOT manufactured, certified, or intended for use in any FDA-regulated products. Our Sunset Yellow FCF Industrial Dye Powder is specifically formulated and packaged for industrial, technical, and artistic applications where the rigorous standards for human consumption or topical contact are not applicable, and where FDA approval is explicitly absent.

Understanding Non-FDA Sunset Yellow FCF: The Industrial Orange-Yellow Specialist Sunset Yellow FCF (chemical formula C16H10N2Na2O7S2) is a robust and stable dye that provides a consistent, vibrant orange-yellow hue. As a “Water Soluble Color,” it disperses readily and uniformly in aqueous solutions, making it an efficient choice for various industrial processes. This Non-FDA Industrial Grade offers a powerful yet cost-effective solution for achieving striking orange-yellow effects in applications that fall outside the purview of food, drug, or cosmetic regulations. Its reliability, strong tinting power, and color stability under various processing conditions make it an invaluable asset for a wide spectrum of technical and manufacturing needs.

Bringing Vibrant Orange-Yellow to Industrial and Creative Applications The versatility of our Sunset Yellow FCF CI 15985 Non-FDA Industrial Dye Powder makes it an excellent choice for numerous non-regulated applications:

• Textile & Fabric Dyeing: Imparting rich, vibrant orange-yellow shades to a variety of fibers and fabrics in industrial dyeing processes.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Providing intense orange-yellow coloration for paper products, including specialty papers, cardboard, and decorative materials.
• Ink Manufacturing: Utilized in the creation of brilliant orange-yellow inks for printing, markers, and other graphic arts applications.
• Cleaning Product Formulations: Adding a distinctive orange-yellow color to industrial cleaning agents, detergents, and household chemical products (emphasizing non-cosmetic use).
• Educational & Artistic Pursuits: An ideal component for scientific demonstrations, art projects, crafting, and theatrical productions where a powerful, non-ingestible orange-yellow dye is required.
• Laboratory & Research: Employed as a general chemical reagent, biological stain, or indicator in various non-biological laboratory procedures.

Safety First: Responsible Handling of Industrial Dyes As an industrial-grade chemical, strict adherence to safety protocols is absolutely essential when handling Sunset Yellow FCF CI 15985 Non-FDA Industrial Dye Powder. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection (safety goggles or a face shield), and a dust mask or respirator, to prevent inhalation of airborne particles and direct skin/eye contact. Work in a well-ventilated environment to minimize exposure. It is imperative to prevent ingestion, direct skin contact, and eye contact at all times, especially given its non-FDA status for sensitive applications. Store this product in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials, moisture, and direct sunlight. Always consult the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive information on safe handling, storage, and emergency procedures. Proper waste disposal, in accordance with local regulations for chemical waste, is also a critical responsibility.
