Hidacid & Aquonium Technical Dyes

Aquonium® dyes are cationic paper dyes available in two primary colors – Turquoise and yellow. These dyes are best suited for beater coloring pulp for paper towels, tissues and medical garments. They also are excellent for printing on paper towels, tissues and toilet paper. The biggest advantage of Aquonium dyes over conventional dyes is their bleed resistance. This is due to an inherent affinity of Aquonium to cellulosic fibers. Also, when printing on absorbent grades of paper, Aquonium dyes offer greater clarity than pigmented inks.

Hidacid® technical dyes are designed to be easy to use, free flowing and viscosity-stable. These dyes are used in producing architectural, household, writing utensils, paper products, water treatment, film imaging and brighteners. Most of our products are quality-controlled on a weight basis. This QC methodology leads to the greatest color and strength consistency for in-plant tinting. Products are maximum package stable, freeze/thaw stable and are resistant to bacterial growth.
