BBA (CAS 54574-82-2) is a core intermediate for leuco dyes (color formers) for thermal paper and pressure-sensitive paper.
1. Thermal Sensitive Dyes / Thermal Paper Industry
It is the critical raw material to synthesize black thermal leuco dyes, widely used for thermal receipt paper, label paper, lottery tickets, facsimile paper, taxi bill paper, POS printing paper. The finished dye features clear printing color, good color developing speed, excellent light resistance and anti-fading performance.
2. Pressure-Sensitive Carbonless Paper
Used for manufacturing chromogenic compounds for carbonless copy paper, applicable to commercial invoices, contract documents, multi-layer forms.
3. Fine Chemical & Dye Intermediate
Applied in synthesis of other amino-substituted benzophenone derivatives, organic colorants, optical functional materials.
