Acid red 88
chemical compound
Acid red 88 is an azo dye. Due to its intense colour, solid samples appear almost black. It is used to dye cotton textiles red. A closely related acid dye is Acid Red 13.
Preparation and use
It can be obtained by azo coupling of naphthionic acid and 2-naphthol. Instead of crystallising, it vitrifies when cooled or salted out of the solution.
This compound is used in the textile industry as a dye. It can also be used for research in photocatalysis (as degradation object).

Why this record matters
The phrase “chemical compound” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2022. The linked authority identifier is Q4674080. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
