Natural colors: These colors are synthetically prepared from organic and inorganic compounds, which are derived from animal, vegetable and mineral sources. These colors are less stable toward light and heat.
FD & C Lakes: Lakes are color additives produced by the absorption or precipitation of water soluble dye onto a hydrated base or substrate rendering the color insoluble in water. Lakes are more stable than the corresponding water soluble dyes.
Oxides: Iron oxides are produced from ferrous sulfate with the most common forms being that of yellow, red and black. Oxides are stable pigments.We provide color guide to make it easy to the customer for selecting the shade of their choice.
Colorcoat range is a high molecular weight polymer so it can not be absorbed by body tissue and it is safe for human consumption. It has no physiological action at recommended dosage and is non toxic.
Store it at low temperature not exceeding 45°C. Protect from moisture.
