We specialize in particle reduction and dispersion and have experience manufacturing chemicals, inks, paints, pastes, and more. Dye is a substance that’s used for altering the color of something, usually permanently.

Contract processing of dyes is an area that continues to grow as companies who create formulas for dyes look to find more efficient and cost effective solutions. This process is also referred to as custom manufacturing, toll processing, and contract manufacturing.

There are two types of dyes:

  • Natural dyes – pigments are from nature and occur naturally.
  • Synthetic dyes – are created in a lab and usually a result of a chemical makeup or compound.

People use products every day that contain dyes from paper, to fabrics, food colorants, cosmetics and much more. The pigment used in dyes to create the spectrum of colors starts out as a dry powder product and is added to a liquid. To create these dyes take a process of breaking down particle size and mixing pigments in with wet materials to create a final product.

When manufacturing dyes companies look for machinery and equipment that can reduce particle down to submicron levels so that the end result is a smooth quality product. To achieve this takes special machinery that can take a large amount of capital and consume a lot of space. Many companies do not have the money to invest in equipment or the facilities big enough to house a machine that can meet their production needs. That is when they turn to companies like CMC to produce their product.
