Bright Dyes® Standard Blue Wax (Cake)

1 of 16 products in this brand
Bright Dyes® Standard Blue Wax (Cake) is specially formulated versions of the dye Acid Blue 9. This dye is used for visual detection only and cannot be seen under ultraviolet light or detected by fluorometry. However, when used visually, its color is often thought to be more acceptable to public view than the fluorescing red or yellow green Bright Dyes products. In this respect, it is sometimes used in fountains, ponds and streams for decorative effect. Visually, the dye appears as aqua to royal blue depending on its concentration and activity of the water.
