This chemical, 3,3'-Diethylbenzidine Dihydrochloride, is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly azo dyes for coloring textiles, paper, leather, and in the manufacturing of inks for printing processes. It is valued in industries requiring vibrant, long-lasting colors and consistent quality. Additionally, it serves as a chromogenic substrate in chemical analysis, such as microbiological testing, enzyme assays (e.g., for horseradish peroxidase), and detection of certain substances in laboratory settings. Due to its high toxicity and potential health risks, including carcinogenicity, strict safety measures and controlled handling are essential to protect health and the environment.
