Solvent Red 23 is an oil-soluble azo dye widely used in industrial colouring applications. It dissolves readily in organic solvents, oils, waxes, and fuels, producing bright red shades with strong colour strength. The dye is commonly used in the colouring of petroleum products, lubricants, plastics, and wax formulations.

Solvent Red 23 also finds application in printing inks, coatings, and polishes where solvent-soluble dyes are required. It provides consistent colour performance and good solubility in hydrocarbon media. Due to its stability and excellent colouring properties, it is widely used in industrial formulations requiring reliable red coloration.
