Azo test

Azo dyes are dyes that contain at least one azo group structure in the chemical structural formula, in which azo groups are often connected with one or more aromatic ring systems to form a conjugated system as the color body of the dye, distributed in almost all colors. It is the most widely used synthetic dye, not only for textile printing and dyeing, but also for leather, paper, food and other dyeing. It should be noted that not all azo dyes are prohibited, but only azo dyes that release more than two dozen carcinogenic aromatic amines specified by the regulation after reduction.

Description

Service background

Azo dyes are dyes that contain at least one azo group structure in the chemical structural formula, in which azo groups are often connected with one or more aromatic ring systems to form a conjugated system as the color body of the dye, distributed in almost all colors. It is the most widely used synthetic dye, not only for textile printing and dyeing, but also for leather, paper, food and other dyeing. It should be noted that not all azo dyes are prohibited, but only azo dyes that release more than two dozen carcinogenic aromatic amines specified by the regulation after reduction.

It is generally believed that after the use of azo dyes containing carcinogenic aromatic amines in textiles, the dyes may be absorbed by the skin and spread in the human body during long-term contact with the human body. Under the biochemical reaction conditions of normal metabolism of the human body, these dyes may undergo reduction reaction to break the azo group, regenerate carcinogenic aromatic amines, and change the structure and function of human DNA through activation, causing human diseases and inducing cancer.
