Used as an azo dye for coloring textiles, leather, and plastics. It imparts bright red to orange shades and is valued for its color fastness. Also employed in the formulation of solvent dyes for use in fuel and oil coloring, as well as in printing inks and paints requiring warm, intense shades. Its structure allows for good light and heat stability, with moderate to good fastness that can be enhanced using metal mordants like chromium in dyeing processes, making it suitable for industrial coloring applications where durability is required.
