Fuchsin

[Mother]

Hi all
Does anyone have a recipe for Fusion-oil soluble dye?? Sudan 111 is banned so I have no idea of what to use instead.
Your help would be much appreciated
Cheers

Hi Mother
This was discussed earlier in the year under Sudan III.
In CSIS this chemical is rated as suitable for Yr 7-12 and not dangerous or hazardous.
Why do some people believe it is banned?

I also believed Sudan III was banned, or at least not recommended. I thought it to be carcinogenic.
Anybody else know??

I was under the impression that this was ok to use... I know It is not classified as a carcinogenic as such, as there is only limited evidence of carcinogenic effect...

It is safe to use for 7-12, if I remember correctly, was the lady about to have a baby, and we said she should not use it. This may be where the information went and little hay wire. Sudan III also known as C I Solvent Red 23, mix with ethanol & Acetone. Would label it class 3.

According to my CSIS Appendix D, Fuchsin is only for Years 11 -12 use, and Sudan III is OK for Years 7-12. Please tell me if I have missed something or some update. I'd hate to think I've been poisoning the little tykes! (Mind you there are some I'd willingly donate to science...)
