2. O series- This category dyes are mostly used for coloring fats and oils and they are dissolved in an organic solvent as well as in grease.
3. W series- This category dye is used specifically for wax coloring.

Solvent dyes do not favor ionization; their molecules are typically nonpolar or little polar. These dyes can increase temperatures. During the extrusion and injection molding process these dyes withstand 350°C. They are known as the best dyes for coloring various solid materials such as nylon, polyester, acetates, PVC, acrylics, PMMA, polystyrene, styrene monomers, and PETP.

Due to their solubility in non-polar mediums, they are versatile. These dyes have various applications such as printing ink, foil printing, ballpoint pens, marking pens, candles, and other waxes, leathers, polishers, acrylic resins, wood stains, and varnishes. These dyes have other uses as well such as color lubricants for automotive and industrial cutting industries. Recently one more use is added to the list that is in the plastic industry.
