Disperse Yellow 56 is a disazo dye from the group of disperse dyes that is used in the textile industry for dyeing polyester.[1]

Properties

The dye may be carcinogenic due to reductive cleavage into carcinogenic arylamines.[2] Therefore, the use of disperse dyes such as Disperse Yellow 56, Disperse Yellow 23, Disperse Yellow 7, and Disperse Red 151, which are derived from p-aminoazobenzene, is highly restricted, and they are included on the Restricted Substances List (RSL) of organizations such as the Apparel and Footwear International RSL Management Group (AFIRM).[3][4]
