Product Description:
Ranbar Red DP1610 is a colorless to deep-red photochromic dyes based on Spirooxazine. It is an organic dye, appearing as white crystalline powder, soluble in various organic solvents such as toluene, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol, and tetrahydrofuran. Its solution changes to deep red upon exposure to ultraviolet light and returns to colorless state upon removal of UV light.

Color change principle:
When photochromic dyes are exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light, the dyes are excited and undergo a change in molecular structure, resulting in a visible color. Once sunlight/UV light is removed, the dyes revert back to their colorless form. It is important to note that photochromic dye molecules do not exhibit color-changing reactivity in their crystalline state; they need to be dissolved in a solvent or polymer to demonstrate color-changing effects.

Product application:
Ranbar photochromic dyes are widely used in industries such as printing inks, paints, plastics, and textile printing and dyeing. They are extremely easy to use, requiring only to be added to the base material and thoroughly mixed. The lower the proportion mixed into the medium, the more transparent it appears in its colorless state or in thin layers. It’s important to note that mixing generates heat, which may temporarily alter the color of the mixture.
