Overview
Vat Yellow 4, also known as Golden Yellow GK, dibenzochrysenedione, dibenzpyrenequinone, Tyrian Yellow I-GOK, and C.I. 59100, is a yellow synthetic anthraquinone vat dye. Chemically it is dibenzo[b,def]chrysene-7,14-dione, or 3,4:8,9-dibenzopyrene-5,10-dione, or C24H12O2. It has the appearance of a viscous orange liquid.
Vat Yellow 4 is used mostly as a dye for textiles and paper.
Together with benzanthrone, it is used in some older pyrotechnic compositions for green and yellow colored smokes.
Vat Yellow 4 is a Group 3 carcinogen according to the IARC, as the evidence of its carcinogenity to humans is inadequate.
