AZO Testing Services

Azo dyes, which are decomposable carcinogenic aromatic dyes, are prohibited. If prohibited azo dyes are used in textile varieties, they may be absorbed by the human body when in contact with the human body for a long time. Under normal human metabolism, a reduction reaction may occur, which will release carcinogenic aromatic amines (carcinogens), which will seriously affect human health. Azo is an organic compound with good color fastness and wide color range. It is mostly used for dyeing and printing of fibers, and can be used for dyeing of various materials (leather, paper, paint, plastic, rubber, etc.). At present, there are 3,000 kinds of azo dyes available on the market, most of which comply with safety regulations, but some dyes (130 kinds) will produce carcinogens through human metabolism and have been banned. Alfa Chemistry is a professional dye testing organization that can provide customers with professional testing services.

Test Product Field

When the human body comes into contact with azo dyes, it will produce carcinogenic aromatic amine compounds that can be absorbed by humans, which is extremely harmful to human health. Azo testing services are applicable to the testing of various samples, including the following industries:

• Textile industry
• Garment industry
• Dye industry
• Toy industry
• Cosmetics industry
• Leather manufacturing industry

Dyes need to interact with other materials to expand their use, so Alfa Chemistry can provide laboratory-level AZO testing services for efficient performance evaluation. If you are interested in our services, please contact us immediately for more information.
