Sulphanilic Acid
Sulphanilic Acid is an essential aromatic amine sulfonic acid available as a high-purity Technical Grade or Purified off-white crystalline solid. It is a critical intermediate in the synthesis of Azo Dyes and various sulfonamide-based pharmaceutical products.
The compound is highly valued for its ability to undergo diazotization, a process essential for creating vibrant dyes and pigments used in the textile and food industries. Its high purity (>99%) ensures consistent quality in the production of optical brighteners and food-safe colorants.
In the medical field, it is used as a diagnostic reagent and as a building block for sulfonamides, a class of synthetic antimicrobial agents. Its stable zwitterionic structure provides high thermal stability, making it a reliable precursor for complex industrial organic chemistry.
Sulphanilic Acid
- Dye Manufacture: Primary intermediate for the production of Acid Orange, Methyl Orange, and various other azo-based textile and food dyes.
- Optical Brighteners: Used in the synthesis of fluorescent whitening agents for the paper and detergent industries to enhance product brightness.
- Pharmaceuticals: Acts as a precursor for sulfa drugs and as a reagent in medical testing for the detection of nitrous acid or bilirubin.
