Thioindigo (Cat No.:I037232) is an organic compound that is part of the indigo dye family. It is derived from indigo by replacing one of the oxygen atoms with a sulfur atom. Thioindigo is known for its intense blue color and has been used as a dye in various applications, including textiles, inks, and paints. It exhibits good color fastness and has been valued for its ability to retain its vibrant blue hue over time. Thioindigo’s chemical structure and properties make it a versatile compound in the field of colorants and dye chemistry.
