Description
A brown powder that forms a cherry red synthetic dye solution with water. First discovered in 1876 by Kussamaul, erythrosine is an iodinate derivative of Fluorescein. It is used as a direct dye on Wool and Silk. Erythrosine is also used in inks, lacquers, cosmetics, and as a lake pigment. It is not colorfast in sunlight.
