Product Introduction
CAS 232938-43-1 | Pergafast 201 | Non-Phenolic Color Developer for Thermal Paper | China Manufacturer
Product Overview
As a China-based manufacturer, Alfa Chemical supplies Pergafast 201 (CAS 232938-43-1), a non-phenolic color developer for thermal paper. It was developed as an alternative to BPA and other phenolic developers, which are increasingly restricted due to health and environmental concerns. Pergafast 201 is a BPA-free, non-phenolic compound that provides clear, stable thermal print images.
The product is a white to off-white solid with purity ≥ 99% and a sharp melting point of 160–162 °C. Its chemical structure is a sulfonylurea derivative, which gives it good thermal reactivity and compatibility with common thermal paper coating formulations. It is soluble in DMSO and methanol (slightly, with heat) and stable under normal storage conditions.
For thermal paper manufacturers looking to transition to BPA-free formulations, Pergafast 201 offers a proven drop-in alternative with similar or better performance. For related thermal paper chemicals and color developers, explore our Material Science range.
