Abstract
The printability of 4′-chlorophenylazo-2-naphthol (CPAN) was evaluated on gloss-coated paper. The preliminary results indicated that the proposed pigment could be used in offset and oil-based ink production. The pigment and its potential reduction product, 4-chloroaniline, were then separated by a reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography system. The pigment was incubated with NADH at 37°C for half an hour at different pH values to investigate its possible reduction into the corresponding primary amines (ie 4-chloroaniline and 2-amino-1-naphthol). However, no reduction was observed. This finding indicates a desirable evidence for the pigment in terms of its stability against NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a known biochemical reducing agent in living organisms when the potential toxicity from aromatic primary amines is considered.
