Treated seeds are dyed for a number of reasons, e.g.

• Marketing or identification purposes
• Checking of seed deposition
• Warning signal (Caution! The seed is coated with a plant protection product or some other substance.)
• Repellent effect (birds)

We will be glad to test our dyes and gloss pigments in your formulation and to let you have inspection samples.

Our colour range provides the right solution for all customer requirements.

Our standard dyes are red, blue, yellow, green and white and are available as pigments in liquid form. We offer 2 lines, both of which are highly concentrated (low application quantities) and non-toxic: SATEC pastes and SATEC Colour Liquid. The pastes are only available in small buckets of 18 kg, the liquids can be ordered in units of 30 kg up to IBCs of 1000 kg net. Special fillings are possible with surcharge. The dyes of the respective line can be mixed with each other. All products can be diluted with water.

Statement concerning microplastic: The content of microplastic particles is less than 0,01%. The containing binder is free of microplastic.

Gloss pigments, in various colour shades, visually upgrade your pelleting and encrusting treatments. Once coated, the treated seeds dry more rapidly, flow more easily and are less prone to forming bridges in seeder units. They are compatible with, and can even stimulate, the micro-organisms used in seed treatment.

SATEC marking dyes identify the seed, provide mechanical protection and reduce the risk of it being eaten by birds. Since they are made up of natural components and food dyes, they are also suitable for organic farming. They are delivered in packs from 1 kg upwards.
