Product Information

• Name: Acid Red 249
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Acid Red 249 is a hydroxyl-containing fatty acid with a molecular weight of 257. It is amphoteric, meaning it can act as either an acid or a base. Acid Red 249 can be used to highlight calcium carbonate in the presence of zirconium oxide and colorants. Acid Red 249 undergoes nucleophilic attack, which is a chemical reaction where one or more nucleophiles are attracted to an electrophile (a chemical species that donates electrons). This reaction is often used for dyeing textiles and for making food dyes. Radiation, such as ultraviolet light or gamma rays, induces the reaction by breaking down the molecule's double bond. The resulting products are called free radicals, which react with other molecules to form new compounds. These reactions produce fluorescent colors that can be detected by radiation-sensitive cameras and other instruments.
