OrcoTint™NS Polymeric Colorants

Coloration of a product so that it has minimal staining properties when in contact with other items is a unique and challenging goal which requires a unique colorant — Organic Dyes and Pigments’ OrcoTint™NS dyes are polymeric highly concentrated liquid colorants designed to minimize staining on many different industry end-products such as detergents & soap, chemical compounding products, ice-melts, portable sanitation chemicals, and livestock colorants. OrcoTint™NS colorants provide minimal or virtually no staining on skin, textiles, plastics, and processing machinery.  This line of colorants is compatible with many systems due to its non-ionic chemical nature and high water-solubility.  Their high solubility allows them to be formulated in high dosages in both liquid and solid applications.  Beyond the standard OrcoTint™NS line, custom-formulated colors can be developed according to your specific shade and physical property requirements.  Current OrcoTint™ NS colorants available consist of the OrcoTint™NS Royal Blue, Blue, Dark Royal 8711, Violet & Bright Green GL. New colorants are currently being developed to offer a complete palette of colors.

Portable Toilets & Sinks, Sanitation,  & Marine / RV industries find the OrcoTint™NS line of colorants very suitable for the coloration of sanitation chemicals because of their ease-of-use, high solubility, high-temperature stability, and being environmentally friendly.   Fragrances are easily added to the chemical formulations helping to mask odors.  These colorants are used extensively in products such as gel-packets, fast-dissolving tablets, deodorizers, foaming hand sanitizers, RV laundry packets, and portion-control tablets & packets.  Many OrcoTint™NS-colored  deodorizing chemicals are also used in municipality landfill & transfer stations and portable restrooms used at events and construction sites.

Detergents & Soap formulations typically include OrcoTint™NS colorants to minimize staining on skin, textiles, plastics, concrete, ceramics, and processing machinery.  Products formulated using OrcoTint™NS colorants include hand sanitation products, foaming soaps, laundry detergent & softeners, and industrial & household cleaning products.  OrcoTint™NS colorants are used extensively in liquid, powder, and gel-pack formulations.

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, OrcoTint™ NS colorant-treated ice-melts help to minimize dangerous hazards.   OrcoTint™NS colorants are the preferred ingredient in ice-melt formulations as they have minimal-to-no staining characteristics when in contact with 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.

 Livestock Identification  is a common practice to temporarily mark and identify livestock for many reasons.  Some include herd management and treatment codes for medical, insemination, feeding, milking, and monitoring.  OrcoTint™NS   colorants easily wash off and are safe for use on aimals and the environment.

Spray Pattern Indicator Agents are formulated in many instances using OrcoTint™NS colorants due to their minimal-to-no staining characteristics and ability to wash off easily.  A highly visible “temporary marking” system is desired in many applications such as fertilizer/pesticide/herbicide spraying, turfgrass markings, and industrial & aquatic vegetation management.

Custom Chemical Compounding requires a wide variety of colorants with different physical properties and characteristics.  Typically, a chemical is colored mainly for identification, marketing, and branding purposes.  This is where OrcoTint™NS colorants fit the bill — they are non-ionic making them chemically compatible in many formulations, are minimally staining or virtually non-staining to many materials, have a wide temperature stability range, and are highly concentrated.  Some chemical formulations where OrcoTint™NS colorants are typically used are industrial cleaners, antifreeze, heat-transfer fluids, and rust inhibitors for the water treatment, mining, HVAC, coatings, geothermal, and oil & gas industries.
