- Typical Guideline for Use
Amaranth Lake is insoluble & in most organic solvents but soluble in Acid & Alkali medium. It gives coloration through Dispersion. For coloration this product, first pre-disperse in any suitable medium (like propylene glycol, glycerol any convenient medium which is compatible to final product). This dispersion is then used for the coloration of final product.
