Direct Blue 14（Cat No.:M014640）, also known as Benzo Light Blue 2BL or C.I. 24290, is an anionic azo dye commonly used in the textile industry for dyeing cotton, wool, and silk. It is characterized by its high affinity for cellulose fibers, producing a vibrant and long-lasting blue color. Besides textiles, Direct Blue 14 is used in paper, leather, and sometimes in biological staining applications. However, its use is carefully regulated due to potential environmental and health concerns associated with azo dyes, necessitating proper handling and disposal practices to minimize impact.
