ACID GREEN 3

Acid Green 3 is a synthetic dye that usually appears as a deep green to bluish-green solid colour in products. Acid Green 3 is a water-soluble dye chemically known as a sulfonated triarylmethane-type dye and used in a wide range of applications, including textiles, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food. Because of its ability to provide good stability and consistency, product manufacturers use it in products that require a visually appealing final look.

Acid Green 3 belongs to the family of sulfonated aryl dyes developed during the late 19th to early 20th century, when synthetic dyes began replacing natural dyes due to their cost-effectiveness and better stability on products. At that time, Acid Green 3 was used for dyeing wool, silk, and other protein fibres and for biological staining. Later, when chemists modified green triarylmethane and related structures to improve brightness, fastness, and process compatibility, manufacturers started its use in other industries as well, where the visual appeal matters a lot, like in textile dyeing and as a staining reagent in laboratories.

Synthetic Acid Green 3 is used in various manufacturing industries where a stable dark green tint and good wet-fastness are required. In textile dyeing, it is used in silk, wool, and specialty fabrics where acid dyes are appropriate. In biological and histological staining, Acid Green 3  is used in laboratories as a protein or general tissue stain. In industrial use, Acid Green 3 dye pigments are used for inks, specialized coatings, and other non-food industrial applications where customers require a durable green hue.

Using low-quality colours in products, especially at the commercial level, damages the brand image in the market. Inferior quality colours may fade or change on products during storage, which makes the product ugly. Such colours may also fail to meet regulatory standards set by government authorities, leading to product recalls or bans from the market. This may impact the sale of the products. Manufacturers who want to sell their products without any legal issues should use high-quality colours in their products. 

Synthetic Acid Green 3 colour is approved for use in products by various governmental bodies around the world, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), and FAO/WHO JECFA. These governmental bodies check the quality and safety of colours in products from time to time that ensures the safety of colours for human consumption.
