| Applications | Azo pigment and dye manufacturing — BON acid (and its arylamide derivatives, "BONA" pigments) is a well-established industrial precursor for red/orange/yellow azo pigments used in printing inks, paints, and plastics coloring |
BON acid (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid’s positional relative) is a naphthalene ring bearing both a hydroxyl and a carboxylic acid group positioned for coupling into azo dye chemistry. Its arylamide derivatives form the basis of a major class of high-performance organic pigments.
This compound is manufactured into azo pigments and dyes used across printing ink, paint, and plastic coloring applications, where its naphthol structure serves as the coupling component in diazonium chemistry.
