Sensient Colors for Dishwash
Sensient offers a variety of colors to meet the ever changing market requirements of the dishwash industry, from evolving color trends in hand dishwash liquids to multi-functional products for automatic dishwashers.
Coloring Liquid and Gel Products
Typically water soluble dyes are used to enhance the product appearance of liquid formulations used for dishwash. However, pigments could also be used depending on the viscosity of the formulation and the opacity requirements.
- Typical dosage rates – 0.005% – 0.01%
Coloring Powdered Products
Typically pigments are used to color powdered dishwash products. Speckles are widely used to enhance product appearance, with the color either sprayed or tumbled onto a base, typically sodium carbonate. Additional brand identification can be achieved with Sensient’s Color Inclusions product line.
Color Stability –
Highly stable colorants should be used in complex formulations containing active detergents and/or fragrance systems. Our technical team can assist in recommending color systems to ensure performance of colorants and ingredients in the end application.
- Dosage rates are dependent on processing conditions.
