Product Information

• Name: Pigment Yellow 3
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pigment Yellow 3 is a glycol ether that belongs to the class of organic compounds. It is used as a yellow coloring agent in paints, plastics, and textiles. Pigment Yellow 3 is also used in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as a model system for carotenoid molecules. Pigment Yellow 3 has been shown to have an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the glycol ether moiety and the carotenoid chromophore, which stabilizes the molecule against thermal degradation. Pigment Yellow 3 is chemically stable at room temperature but decomposes when heated or irradiated with UV light. This compound can be found in nature as well as being synthesized artificially.
