PERMALEX® Liquid Acetone Dye
PERMALEX® Liquid Acetone Dye
PERMALEX® Liquid Acetone Dyes are a select group of metal complex solvent dyes that have been converted to liquid form to simplify application and prevent dust contamination. These dyes do not contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) that impact photochemical oxidation in outdoor air.
These dyes are suitable for a wide variety of applications such as the coloration of vinyl and nitrocellulose lacquers to produce vibrant colors on metal foils and polymeric films. They are highly suitable for NGR (Non Grain Raising) wood stains, decorative coatings, plastics and various ink applications.
PERMALEX® Liquid Acetone Dyes have excellent solubility and exhibit very good heat stability and light fastness in a variety of applications.
