Used as a dye in the textile industry, particularly for dyeing cotton, linen, and other cellulosic fibers such as viscose rayon. It provides a bright yellow color and is valued for good lightfastness and moderate wash resistance. Suitable for dyeing in mild to medium alkaline conditions. Commonly applied in printing inks and for coloring paper products. Also utilized in industrial applications where water-soluble dyes are needed, such as in the leather industry and for tinting certain types of coatings. Its direct application method allows it to bond to fibers without the need for a mordant, making the dyeing process simpler and more cost-effective.
