Our dyes and pigments are chemically compatible with coating formulations necessary to meet these demands, when applied to wood, paper, or Fiberglas-mat facing.

Actual pigment and dye samples must be evaluated in a laboratory on medium to be colored in production for accurate shade and physical property results. Shades shown on print material and computer monitors are for general reference only as they are inherently inaccurate due to calibration variations and technical limitations of monitors and printers.
