Zinc-Plating Dyes
Use these dyes at the end of your zinc-plating process to add a decorative appearance.
Yellow dye creates a finish similar to cadmium yellow chromate. One bottle makes four gallons of dye.
Black dye comes in two bottles. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. They make one gallon of dye.
Colorants for Plastic Pellets
Add color when making plastic parts. Also called masterbatches, these colorants contain a base plastic that works with a variety of plastic types—from general purpose polypropylene to tough ABS. This means you don’t need to stock up on colorants for each type. Mix them in with your pellets before melting. To get a rich color for most plastic, you need only 1-2% of colorant in your batch, since they’re concentrated.
