Is Disperse Red 9 vegan?

Disperse Red 9, also known as 1-(methylamino)anthraquinone, is a red anthraquinone-based dye used in textile dyeing and historically in coloured smoke formulations such as the M18 smoke grenade and dye packs. It produces red to violet-red colours and its smoke-producing properties can be enhanced by coating dye particles with an inert material such as epoxy resin.

An ingredient is considered vegan if it contains no animal-derived components at any point in its production.
