Ponds & Lakes

Ponds & Lakes colorants are typically used for aesthetic purposes or to minimize algae growth.  Our standard colors, available in powder or liquid forms, are OrcoPond™ Blue ABN, OrcoPond™ Teal, and OrcoPond™ Black .   Custom colors can be developed upon request.

Ice-Melt & De-Icing

Ice-Melt & De-Icing coloration aids in the visual identification of icy areas that have been treated.  With safety being a primary concern in areas such as stairways, pedestrian sidewalks, parking lots, and industrial loading areas,  colorant-treated ice-melts help to minimize dangerous hazards.  OrcoTint NS™ colorants are the preferred color  ingredient in ice-melt formulations as they have minimal or virtually no staining effects to concrete, asphalt, brick, wood, clothing, shoes, leather, & carpet, and are  highly concentrated, environmentally friendly to vegetation, easy-to-use, and visually appealing.   They are also non-reactive to salts and are stable in rock salt, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, potassium chloride,  calcium magnesium acetate, and magnesium chloride formulations.
