FLYHOME grades and lines
Product description
Cleaning products are demanding for colorants: high or low pH, bleach, enzymes, surfactants and light in transparent packs. FLYHOME colours are chosen and tested for these conditions, and for low staining of fabrics and surfaces.

Use
- Dosage
- Dyes typically 5–100 ppm as dye in the finished product; dispersions 0.01–0.2 %
- Stability testing
- Four weeks at 40 °C and in daylight in the final pack; check pH drift, bleach, enzymes and fabric staining
- Hypochlorite products
- Most dyes are bleached: use HM-PD phthalocyanine dispersions
- Toilet soaps
- Toilet soaps are cosmetics under Indian law: use FLYCOS cosmetic-grade colours
Storage and packing
- Storage
- 5–35 °C; protect from frost — freezing destroys the dispersion irreversibly
