Fertilizer Coloring Agents
Our Galoryl®, Dustrol® and Fluidiram® coatings are designed to improve dust, and caking control and can be customized to impart a specific fertilizer color to the surface of the substrate. Our research scientists, with the help of our field technicians, can diagnose and prescribe the appropriate colorant, coating, or, in some cases, a combination or package of multiple coloring agents to achieve the desired fertilizer color for our customers.
Arkema also designs and installs optimal application systems for our coloring agents. These application systems can be designed to include colorimeters to detect subtle changes in fertilizer color, shade, and intensity and to synchronize these detection devices to dosing controls to maintain consistent colorant adherence to fertilizer color specifications.
