ALLURA RED AC CAS#25956-17-6
Allura Red is a deep red, odorless, homogeneous powder. It is soluble in water, glycerol, and propylene glycol, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in oils and fats. When dissolved in water, it appears yellowish-red; in neutral and acidic aqueous solutions, it appears red; and in alkaline solutions, it appears deep red. Allura Red exhibits strong light and heat resistance, high color fastness, and good tolerance to aqueous solutions containing sulfur dioxide or with a pH ≥ 3. However, its resistance to alkalis and redox reactions is relatively poor, and its properties are similar to other diazo red pigments.

ALLURA RED AC CAS#25956-17-6 Application
Color additives are coloring agents used in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. When used as food dyes, they have the E code E129. Studies have shown that ingestion by children may worsen symptoms of ADHD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and may even lead to a decrease in IQ. Currently, Denmark, Belgium, France, Switzerland, and Sweden have banned their use.
