The color shade is indicative. The actual shade in use depends on formulation and might vary. The recommendations are to be viewed as basic guidelines to assist in making a choice of the right colorant for a specific formulation. The performance and stability of a colorant in a specific formulation needs to be tested and validated. To help in this activity, the product Technical Data Sheets provide information such as solubility, pH-, bleach-, and light-stability and are available on request. With regards to personal care applications, the local cosmetic regulations should be consulted and adhered to.

While making color recommendations, BASF may suggest colorants (for special purposes), which do not conform to the information in the tables above.

General application guideline  Dyes are generally suitable for aqueous formulations. The liquid dyes range is additionally designed for the special needs of laundry products (low staining risk). Though dyes are primarily used to color liquid products, they can also be used to color pastes or soap bars. Powders can be colored too, e.g. via spray-process, slurry mixing, etc. Pigment dispersions work very well with pastes, soap bars, powders and tablets. Pigments are generally more stable than dyes, so pigment dispersions may also be used in some liquid products with demanding stability criteria. However, in such cases, the dispersion capability of the formulation should be high to avoid pigment agglomeration and subsequent precipitation. Pigment powders are suitable for coloring solid products such as powders, soap bars, pastes or makeup/lipsticks. Pigment powders are not pre-dispersed and therefore need thorough homogenization. If no dispersion process is involved, they are not recommended for liquid products (due to risk of precipitation).
