Liquid dyes
Our full range of liquid direct and basic dyes are used in virtually every area of paper manufacturing due to their physical form, ease of handing, elimination of dusting and suitability for systems with on-line color control.

Powder dyes
Liquid dyes may be preferable where automated color control is used to produce pastel to moderate shades. But our powder dyes remain the product of choice where large volumes are used to produce very deep shades for fine paper and tissue. Because powder dyes are up to five times more concentrated than liquid dyes, smaller quantities are required.
