Trade Name: YOBISOL FIRE RED BL · CI Number: Solvent Red 160
Solvent Red 160 is a high-performance red solvent dye known for its vibrant fire-red shade and excellent lightfastness. It is widely used in wood stains, furniture lacquers, printing inks, and plastic colouring where a bright, stable red is required in a solvent-based system. Yobai Industries supplies this as YOBISOL FIRE RED BL — quality-tested for colour strength and solubility before every dispatch.
The key differentiator of Solvent Red 160 is the combination of high light fastness (6–7) with heat stability to 200°C. In practice this means it is used where the application demands genuine colour durability — outdoor wood coatings, automotive interior trims, engineering plastics processed above 180°C, and furniture lacquers with prolonged light exposure. In wood staining, it produces a clear, transparent fire-red with no brown or orange bias, making it the standard for cherry and rosewood stain formulations. In printing inks, high tinctorial strength means low dosage rates achieve full red development in thin films. Compared to SR119 (YOBISOL FIRE RED G), SR160 reads a cleaner neutral red without the warm orange shift — and it is the performance grade when durability is the deciding factor.

Ketone and ester systems give best dissolution for SR160. Batch-specific TDS available on request.
Solvent Red 160 performs best in ketone and ester-based solvent systems — MEK, cyclohexanone, and ethyl acetate give the highest concentration and cleanest dissolution. This is the key differentiator from Solvent Red 119, which performs better in mineral spirit and straight aliphatic systems. For mineral-spirit-based formulations, adding toluene or butyl acetate as a co-solvent improves SR160 dissolution significantly.
For two-component polyurethane and epoxy coatings, dissolve in the ketone or ester co-solvent before incorporating the resin. For leather topcoats, dissolve in MEK or ethyl acetate before adding the polyurethane binder. The 200°C heat stability means it withstands ABS, polycarbonate blend, and PA6 melt processing without shade shift at normal dwell times.
Starting-point guidelines — actual loading depends on shade depth required, substrate type, and process conditions. Trial at lab scale before committing to production.
| Application | Loading (%wt) | Solvent System | Processing Temp | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engineering Plastics (ABS / PC / PA6) | 0.05–0.2% | Carrier masterbatch | 180–200°C | 200°C stable; shade holds through normal dwell times |
| Automotive / Industrial Coatings | 0.2–1.0% | 2K PU / acrylic / alkyd | Ambient | Dissolve in ketone co-solvent before resin addition |
| Wood / Furniture Lacquers | 0.05–0.3% | Ketones / esters (MEK, BAc) | Ambient | Pre-dissolve; filter; clean fire-red on wood grain |
| Leather Surface Coatings | 0.2–1.0% | MEK / esters / PU topcoat | Ambient | Dissolve before adding binder; good rub fastness when cured |
| Gravure / Flexo Inks | 0.5–3.0% | Ketones / esters / aromatic | Ambient | Stable colour; suited to outdoor packaging inks (LF 6–7) |
