    Product Overview

    What is 4B Acid?

    4B Acid (4-Aminotoluene-3-sulfonic acid, p-toluidine-2-sulfonic acid) is an amino toluene sulfonic acid supplied as a beige to off-white crystalline powder. It is the diazo component behind the Lithol Rubine family of red lake pigments.

    Typical uses are as a diazo component for azo lake pigments such as Lithol Rubine (Pigment Red 57:1 types), for printing inks, plastics and coatings colourants and specialty dye intermediates.

    As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources 4B Acid from approved manufacturers with consistent purity and controlled colour, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.
