Leaping the hurdles

NOW AVAILABLE for Triple Foam and Auto Detergent Formulators: Know Your Chemistry before you select a dye. Our White Paper – “Leaping the Hurdles of Proper Dye Selection – Reversing the Process” will walk you through the chemistry, technical properties, Safety, Health & Environment (SH&E) and economic considerations BEFORE you choose a dye for your Triple Foam or Auto Detergent formulation.

Typical car wash colorants and dyes used in this industry are shown below, many of which are available in powder and liquid forms. If you need technical assistance to determine or develop the best product for your coloring needs just contact us.

Triple Foams, Car Soaps, Truck Wash Detergents, and Tire Cleaners all have different chemistries and pHs (measure of acidity or alkalinity). The use of the wrong dye with the wrong cleaner chemistry can have disastrous effects. Our multiple product lines allows us to find the best dye for your system, cleaner or detergent. Consult with your ORCO Representative to find out what works best with your chemicals.
The powdered dyes come in 10 lb, 25 lb and 55 lb boxes (in most cases), while the liquid dyes are available in 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums and 275 gallon totes.

OrcoTint™NS Non-Staining Colorants

OrcoTint™NS dyes are polymeric highly concentrated liquid colorants designed to minimize staining on many different industry end-products such as vinyl, rubber, and plastics.  This line of colorants is compatible with many detergent formulations due to its non-ionic chemical nature and high water-solubility which allows them to be formulated in high dosages.
