Where Does Colored Rock Salt and Ice Melt Come From?

No, not from colorful magic crystals, grown on a salt plain left over from a magical inland sea, though that would be really cool.

Picture2No, not from melting some yummy ice cream on a pile of rock salt. That would be just so wrong, and a horrible waste of good treats.

Organic Dyes and Pigments (ORCO) supplies the colorants, AND the expertise, to color your brine, rock salt and snow melt. It’s not just a matter of throwing some color on some salt and away you go to spread cheerful colors in parking lots, roads, and walkways. Believe it or not, there IS some science involved in choosing the right colorant, and some “art” to applying it into YOUR brine, salt or melt.
We have you covered in the science AND the art. Check out some of our recent BLOGS:
