Lake Colours

Aluminium lakes are the water-insoluble, oil-dispersible pigment form of the certified dyes — precipitated onto an alumina substrate. They colour by dispersion rather than dissolving, giving opaque shade, better light/heat stability and no bleeding. Ideal for tablet & sugar coating, confectionery panning, fat-based coatings, compound chocolate and dry mixes. Available in low, medium and high dye-content grades.
