Let’s face it, it’s hard to control the little particles of dye products. When we open their packages, the colorants can go airborne creating a messy workplace. Many of the dyes’ color blooms in contact with water. Areas of the workplace, other materials, or worker’s exposed skin can stain with temporary dye when the colorants come in contact with damp or wet areas.
To overcome the mess, many clients opt for unitized soluble packaging. There are significant advantages to using pre-weighed, packaged dyes and pigments. Unitized packs in a water-soluble or solvent-soluble film bag provide a clean and reliable way to add color into formulations. A good example is using it in the paper and wood industries. Easy to use dye packets are pre-measured to toss in while manufacturing the pulp mixture or wood coating. It’s an easy, no-mess solution to ensuring you’re using the right amount of dye. For other clients, water-soluble packaged dyes can be ready for final packaging and resale. This is a great solution for pond dyes and spray pattern indicator products.
