This chemical is primarily used in the manufacturing of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes, which are widely employed in the textile industry for coloring fabrics. Its diazo group enables it to form stable and vibrant colorants when coupled with suitable compounds. Additionally, it finds application in the paper industry for dyeing paper products and in the production of inks for printing. It is also utilized in photo-sensitive materials for the electronics and printing industries, such as in diazotype processes and light-sensitive coatings on various substrates including plastics. Its ability to create strong, lightfast colors makes it valuable in industries requiring high-quality and durable coloration.
