Solvent Black 3

Chemical properties

It is a very dark brown to black fine crystalline powder. It is soluble in ethanol, toluene, acetone, and other solvents. In concentrated sulfuric acid, it is violet-black; when diluted, it is dark greenish-blue and produces a blue to black precipitate. The ethanol solution of the dye is bluish-black when concentrated hydrochloric acid is added and dark blue when concentrated sodium hydroxide solution is added.
