Azo Colorants are chemical compounds containing a pair of nitrogen (N=N) bonds in their molecular structure and are commonly used in textile dyes, leather dyes and some other industrial applications. These colorants are popular because they offer a wide range of colors. However, under certain conditions, azo colorants can undergo chemical conversion in skin contact or in the biological environment to compounds called aromatic aminates.
Aromatic amines are compounds that can exhibit carcinogenic and toxic properties. The release of these compounds can lead to serious health risks in long-term exposure. In particular, some azo colorants can release harmful aromatic amines such as 4-aminoazobenzene, which can cause cancer risk, skin allergic reactions and toxic effects.
Azo dyestuffs consist entirely of organic, -N=N- azo group. It is generally used in the dyeing of leathers to ensure that the colors give the desired color. Leather products are highly preferred especially in textile products and shoes. The use of leather products in different areas is also used in different colors.
The presence of azo dyes in leather products is undesirable due to their harm. The general damages that may occur with long-term exposure to azo dyes can be listed as follows:
The ISO 17234-1 standard specifies a method for the determination of the use of certain azo colorants capable of releasing certain aromatic amines.
