Colour does more than make a product look good, it can also shape how consumers think and feel about it. From bright blue laundry liquids that signal freshness, to rich green cleaners that suggest eco-friendly power, colour tells a story before the product is even opened. But for formulators, achieving that perfect shade isn’t always simple. Stability, staining, and solubility all come into play, especially in complex cleaning and industrial formulations.
That’s where Addpol® polymeric non-staining dye colourants shine. Trusted by major household care brands for decades, Addpol® delivers vibrant, stable colour without the staining issues that can complicate production and consumer use.
If you’re curious to see and try out the Addpol® range, you’ll have the chance to at SCS Formulate this November! Visit HARKE UK & Ireland at stand 430, where we’ll have car foam formulations available to test on our very own model car – a fun, hands-on way to see their strong colour performance and non-staining power for yourself!
