Description
A yellow acid dye. Picric acid was prepared in 1771 by Woulfe by treating Indigo with Nitric acid. It was first used as a textile dye for Wool and Silk. Picric acid has poor washfastness and was replaced by naphthol dyes by the late 1800s.
Synonyms and Related Terms
CI 10305; carbazitic acid; 2,4,6-trinitrophenol; picronitric acid; melinite; acide picrique (Fr.); ácido pícrico (Esp., Port.)
