Sodium naphthionate is a sulfonated aromatic amine salt derived from naphthalene. It is primarily used as a key intermediate in the manufacture of azo dyes, pigments, and optical brightening agents. Its sulfonate group imparts water solubility, making it highly reactive in coupling reactions for producing vivid and stable colorants. Due to its stability and reactivity, it is a vital raw material in the textile, paper, and leather dyeing industries.
 

Industrial Uses

1. Fabric Solutions

  • Water-Soluble Azo Dye Intermediate: Its sulfonate functionality allows it to dissolve easily in water, enabling uniform dyeing of fabrics and papers.
  • Lightfast Pigment Precursor: The aromatic naphthalene backbone provides stability against light and heat, producing pigments with excellent fastness properties.
  • Deep Shade Dyeing: The stable aromatic structure ensures vibrant, long-lasting colors that resist fading during washing or exposure to sunlight.
  • Printing Paste Ingredient: High solubility supports even dispersion in textile printing formulations for precise, sharp patterns.

2. Pulp & Paper Solutions

  • Direct Paper Dyeing: Easily binds to cellulose fibers in paper pulp, producing bright and uniform coloration.
  • Optical Brightener Precursor: The aromatic sulfonated structure serves as a base for synthesizing compounds that increase paper whiteness.
