Pigment Blue 15 CAS 12239-87-1

Introduction

Phthalocyanine blue Bsx is an organic compound with the chemical name methylenetetraphenyl thiophthalocyanine. It is a phthalocyanine compound with sulfur atoms and has a brilliant blue color. The following is a detailed introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of phthalocyanine blue Bsx:

Quality:

- Appearance: Phthalocyanine blue Bsx exists in the form of dark blue crystals or dark blue powders.

- Soluble: Soluble well in organic solvents such as toluene, dimethylformamide and chloroform, insoluble in water.

- Stability: Phthalocyanine blue Bsx is unstable under light and is susceptible to oxidation by oxygen.

Use:

- Phthalocyanine blue Bsx is often used as a dye in a wide range of industrial applications such as textiles, plastics, inks and coatings.

- It is also commonly used in dye-sensitized solar cells as a photosensitizer to enhance the light absorption efficiency of solar cells.

- In research, phthalocyanine blue Bsx has also been used as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment.

Method:

- The preparation of phthalocyanine blue Bsx is usually obtained by the method of synthetic phthalocyanine. Benzooxazine reacts with iminophenyl mercaptan to form iminophenylmethyl sulfide. Then phthalocyanine synthesis was carried out, and phthalocyanine structures were prepared in situ by benzoxazine cyclization reaction.

Safety Information:

- The specific toxicity and danger of phthalocyanine blue Bsx have not been clearly studied. As a chemical substance, users should follow general laboratory safety operating procedures.

- Appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn during handling, including a lab coat, gloves, and goggles.

- Phthalocyanine blue Bsx should be stored in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and moisture.
