Description

Atul Sunset Yellow FCF (CAS 2783-94-0) is a synthetic azo colorant approved as E110 in the European Union, also referenced as CI 15985 and FD&C Yellow 6. It is manufactured by Atul Ltd and supplied as an orange-red powder or crystal form for industrial and food-grade applications.

In food and beverage manufacturing, E110 imparts a consistent orange-yellow hue to products such as soft drinks, confectionery, and sauces by absorbing light in the blue-green spectrum. In textile and paper processing, it bonds to fibres through ionic interaction, delivering reproducible colour depth across batch production runs.

Atul Sunset Yellow FCF is available in food-grade quality meeting E110 purity criteria under EU Regulation 231/2012, with FCC-compliant grades for export markets. The product falls under HS code 32129000 and is subject to REACH registration requirements. Standard packaging formats are available on request.
