PubChem Compound Summary - Scarlet Red

http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/
This red ет-naphthol disazo dye has the same basic structure as Sudan III with two added methyl groups. This makes it a deeper, more intense stain, but with the hydroxyl group in the ortho position, it has similar physical properties and is fat soluble. This dye has been used industrially to color oils, waxes, shoe polish, greases, oily-resin lacquers, varnishes, cellulose acetate and acrylic resins, and in wood stains. As a biological stain, it is used primarily to stain lipids and fatty substances present in cells and tissues. The color imparted is a function of the solubility of the dye in the substance affected and does not involve chemical bonding. Procedures using either isopropanol or ethanol as stock solutions have been reported

Local
Sudan is a group of solvent dye, frequently called lysochrome (Lyso- means dissolving and -chrome means colour). In structural classification, sudan belongs to diazo dye. Azo colorant molecule can be described as aryl-N=N-R, where R is aryl, heteroaryl or -CH=C(OH)-. Solvent dyes are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents and fats. It is usually used as a solution in an organic solvent. Azo structure solvent dyes are often responsible yellow-red color whereas anthraquinone structure solvent dyes tend to be green-blue. Some other structures for solvent dyes include heterocyclic rings, metal complex, pyrazolone, xanthene, and ketoamine.  Solvent dyes do not ionise. Solvent dye, undergoing molecular rearrangement, is dissoluted in the substrate. It colours and binds to the lipids resulting in showing colored regions. In industrial field, it is used in coloring oils, waxes, greases, fats, hydrocarbons derivatives, polishes, oily insecticides, and acrylic emulsions. Sudans are used for demonstrating fats, triglycerides and lipoproteins present in tissues as biological stains.
