Recommendations:


When measuring dye flakes, measure by weight or volume – do not alternate methods of measurement between batches. Measuring the same product by weight or volume with give you different results, so be consistent with the chosen method that suits your manufacturing process.
The recommended temperature for manufacturing with dye flakes is about 180ºF, or 85ºC. Working at higher temperatures or prolonged exposure to heat can degrade the colors, causing fading or color alteration to appear.
Dye Flakes are designed to be extremely soluble in wax. Therefore, extensive mixing should not be necessary.
Dye Flakes should be stored under ambient conditions with containers kept closed. We recommend that you us a UV inhibitor in all products containing dyes.

IMPORTANT: We recommend using a UV inhibitor for all color applications! Ask your sales representative for more information.
