A solvent dye is a dye soluble in organic solvents. It is usually used as a solution in an organic solvent. [1]
Solvent dyes are used to color organic solvents, hydrocarbon fuels, waxes, lubricants, plastics, and other
hydrocarbon-based nonpolar materials. Fuel dyes are one use of solvent dyes. Their molecules are
typically nonpolar or little polar, and they do not undergo ionization. They are insoluble in water.
Names of solvent dyes are often generic, of the scheme "solvent <color> <number>", eg. Solvent Red 24,
Solvent Red 26, Solvent Red 164, Solvent Yellow 124, Solvent Blue 35, etc.
Red and yellow solvent dyes are often azo dyes, green and blue ones tend to be anthraquinone dyes.

Alizurol Purple, Duranol Brilliant Violet TG, Ahcoquinone Blue IR base, Disperse Blue 72, and C.I.
60725, is a synthetic anthraquinone dye with bright bluish violet hue. It is a solid insoluble in water and
soluble in acetone, toluene, and benzene. Its melting point is 142-143 °C. Its chemical formula is
Solvent Violet 13 is used to dye hydrocarbon products like solvents and petrol, thermoplastics, synthetic
resins, eg. polystyrenes, and synthetic fiber. It is also used in cosmetics, eg. in hair and skin care products.

It is a carcinogen. [1]
Aniline Yellow is used in microscopy for vital staining[2], in pyrotechnics for yellow colored smokes, in
yellow pigments and inks including inks for inkjet printers. It is also used in insecticides, lacquers,
varnishes, waxes, oil stains, and styrene resins. It is also an intermediate in synthesis of other dyes, eg.
Aniline Yellow was the first azo dye. it was first produced in 1861 by C. Mene. The second azo dye was
Bismarck Brown in 1863. Aniline Yellow was commercialized in 1864 as the first commercial azo dye, a
Aniline Yellow was involved in the 1981 Spanish Toxic Oil Syndrome (TOS). A Madrid-based company
imported denaturated rapeseed oil, dyed by aniline yellow to mark it as unsuitable for human consumption,
to be used as a fuel in steel mills. However, the company distilled the oil to remove the dye, and sold it as
a much more valuable olive oil for cooking. The result was a rash of pneumonia-type illnesses, with a
second stage with lesions, weight loss, paralysis, and muscle wasting. The net result was over 20,000 sick
and 400 dead. The chemistry of the poisonous reaction is still subject of a debate. [3]

Solvent Yellow 124, also called SY124, Sudan 455, Somalia Yellow, T10 Yellow LBN, is a yellow azo
dye used in European Union as a fuel dye. It is a marker used since August 2002 to distinguish diesel fuel
intended for heating from a higher-taxed motor diesel fuel. It is added to fuels not intended for motor
cc1)CCOC(OCC(C)C)C.
Solvent Yellow 124 is a dye with structure similar to Solvent Yellow 56. This dye can be easily hydrolyzed
with acids, splitting off the acetal group responsible for its solubility in nonpolar solvents, and yielding a
water-soluble form which is easy to extract to water. Like a similar methyl orange dye, it changes color to
red in acidic pH. It can be easily detected in the fuel at levels as low as 0.3 ppm by extraction to a diluted
hydrochloric acid, allowing detection of the red diesel added into motor diesel in amounts as low as 2-3%.
Solvent Yellow 124 is intended to be difficult to remove from the fuel in an economical way.
The UK government expressed concerns about the possibility of "laundering" the dye out of "illicit" fuel,
hampering the detection. Denmark expressed concerns about the dye's toxicity.
The customs, familiar with various tricks including dual fuel systems with hidden fuel tanks, will take
samples from the fuel lines to the engine itself if such equipment is suspected in the car.
As the amount of Solvent Yellow 124 added to the fuel is known, by measuring its content in the fuel it is
possible to calculate how much of the low-taxed fuel was added to the legal one.
Euromarker is intended to be replaced later by newer technology markers, such as biological markers or
fuel markers with non destructive analytical methods. These are all special chemicals tailored for the
individual products, and perhaps even for individual refineries, allowing the identification of the source of

Sudan I (also commonly known as CI Solvent Yellow 14 and Solvent Orange R), is a lysochrome, an
with an orange-red appearance. The additive is mainly used to colour waxes, oils, petrol, solvents and
polishes. Sudan I has also been adopted for colouring various foodstuffs, including particular brands of
curry powder and chili powder, although the use of Sudan I in foods is now banned in many countries due
to inconclusive reports on its possible health risks. But it still is used as a coloring for cotton refuse used in
chemistry experiments.

Toxicology
The dye has been declared a possible carcinogen.[citation needed] Laboratory tests on rats showed growth of
cancerous tumours in the liver. Tumors also developed in the bladder, following a direct injection into the
urinary bladder. Tests via oral administration have so far proved negative. These tests have led to the
additive being banned from use in foods throughout the EU, as it may pose an increased risk of cancer.
Even though the amount of Sudan I used in popular foods is small, the proposed health risks are still high.
[citation needed]
Sudan I is also present as an impurity in Sunset Yellow, which is its disulfonated water-soluble version.
Food scare
In February 2005, Sudan I became a prominent news topic, particularly in the United Kingdom. A
Worcester sauce produced by Premier Foods was found to be contaminated by the carcinogenic dye. The
origin was traced to adulterated chili powder. The sauce was used in hundreds of supermarket products
such as pizzas and ready-made meals, and the contamination has led to over 400 products being taken off
the shelves. The deadline for removal was 12:00 GMT 24 February 2005, as imposed by the Food
In South-Africa, Sudan traces were found in several spices in supermarkets in 2005 and 2007. Following a
newspager report, the two largest retailers Pick 'n Pay and Shoprite had to remove the contaminated
products from their shelves. The products included peri-peri spice made by Robertsons - a Unilever
company and two Taj Mahal spice products made by Osman's Spice Works, a big spice merchant
Other countries made much less of the "scare". For example, the New Zealand Food Safety Authority
(NZFSA) found that the risk, if any, for anyone who has consumed food made with this chilli powder as an
Due to the scare, the government of Sudan has requested that the name of the dye be changed to avoid
negative connotations being associated with the country and its food exports [1]. The origins of the "Sudan
I" name are uncertain, but one chemist has suggested it "probably got the name as a result of interest in
the British Empire at the time it was developed in the late 19th Century."
