Widely used as a red azo dye in textile industries for coloring cotton, wool, and silk fabrics due to its strong color fastness and bright shade. Commonly applied in printing inks for packaging materials where vibrant red hues are required. Also utilized in leather dyeing processes to achieve uniform and durable coloration. Shows good solubility in polar solvents, making it suitable for liquid dye formulations. Limited use in some specialty paper coloring applications. Not recommended for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic uses due to lack of toxicity data and poor biodegradability.
