Introduction to Acid Yellow 17
1. Chemical properties and classification
Acid Yellow 17 (Acid Yellow 17), Commonly known as Acid Tender Yellow 2G and Xylene Sun Resistant Yellow 2G, it is a monoazo anionic dye with a Color Index number of C.I. 18965.
Acid Yellow 17 belongs to the azo dye family and contains azo groups (- N=N -) in its molecular structure. It is linked to aromatic structures, forming the chromophore system of the dye. According to different sources, there are two CAS numbers and corresponding molecular formulas: one is 6359-98-4, with the molecular formula C ₁₆ H ₁₀ Cl ₂ N ₄ Na ₂ O ₇ S ₂;
Another type is listed as 642-62-6 in some databases, with the molecular formula C ₁₆ H ₉ N ₄ Na ∝ O ₉ S ₂. This difference is usually due to differences in product specifications (such as dye content and salt forms), but the core color structure is consistent. Due to the presence of sulfonic acid groups in the molecule, its aqueous solution exhibits anionic characteristics and is easily soluble in water, presenting a bright green yellow color.
2. Physical characteristics and morphology
This dye is usually a light yellow to yellow uniform powder. It is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol and acetone, and insoluble in other common organic solvents. Its maximum absorption wavelength is 400 nm. In terms of chemical stability, the dye is stable at room temperature and pressure, with good acid and alkali resistance. When added to hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide solution, the color remains basically unchanged, but it turns green yellow in concentrated sulfuric acid and does not change after dilution.
It is worth noting that adding carved white powder can decolorize it, but it will be oxidized when exposed to air, and the color will recover and may appear red purple. When dyeing, if encountering copper or iron ions, the color light will appear slightly reddish and dark.
3. Industry positioning
Acid Yellow 17 is a widely used functional dye in the fields of textile printing, dyeing, and biological reagents. In the textile industry, it is highly favored for its excellent uniformity, bright color, and directness to protein fibers and polyamide fibers.
In the field of scientific research, it is used as a standard acidic dye for staining histological and hematological samples to provide clear microscopic contrast. In addition, it is also a commonly used model compound in the study of the environmental impact of azo dyes, used to test the effectiveness of wastewater treatment technologies.

The application of Acid Yellow 17
The main uses of Acid Yellow 17
Acid Yellow 17 plays an important role in various fields such as textile printing and dyeing, biomedicine, and daily consumer goods due to its bright color, good water solubility, and excellent affinity for protein fibers.
1.Textile and Leather Industry
This is the most widely used and core application area of Acid Yellow 17. It is widely used in dyeing and printing processes for protein fibers such as wool and silk, as well as synthetic fibers such as nylon.
In weakly acidic dye baths, dye molecules can firmly bind to the amino groups at the fiber ends through ionic bonds and intermolecular forces, giving the fabric a bright and uniform green yellow color, and possessing good light fastness and wash fastness. In addition, it can also be used for coloring leather products.
2.Biomedical and scientific research fields
Acid Yellow 17 is an important biochemical reagent in scientific research and clinical laboratories. It is used in the sample staining process of histology and hematology to help researchers and pathologists distinguish different types of cells and tissue structures clearly under a microscope.
Meanwhile, as a standard dye, it is often used as a model compound in environmental science to study the behavior and biodegradability of azo dyes in water treatment systems.
3.Industrial and consumer goods coloring
Based on its chemical stability and vibrant colors, Acid Yellow 17 is also used as a coloring agent for various industrial and consumer products. This includes the coloring of detergents, soap, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
In the paper and ink industries, Acid Yellow 17 is also used to produce specific colored paper and printing inks. In the food industry, it has been used as a food yellow pigment under specific standards.
