  1. Salient Differences between Lake Colours and Pigments Our world without colour would be boring, insipid, and uninspiring. Thank God for colours that make everything attractive, joyful, and soothing to the heart. The world thrives on colours in every sphere of life, whether personal or business, where the products are infused with bright colours to make them more enticing for the customers. Taking inspiration from natural colours, any Lake Colour manufacturer who specialises in creating specific quality of colours can deliver the best ones for various products like clothes, cosmetics, bath products, pharmaceuticals, food, accessories, drugs, and the list is endless. Colours are created from four main types of colourants: lakes, dyes, micas, and pigments. In India, manufacturers are focusing primarily on producing high quality lake colours and pigments for their products. Although both of these categories share a few qualities, there are distinctive differences between the two, with each having its own benefits and specialised uses. Lake Colours Lake colours are produced by the precipitation of soluble dyes with specific metallic salts. They are insoluble in nature and colour through the dispersion method with the help of FD&C dyes, which makes them easy to mix with sugars, oils, and fats. They are also used to disperse colour in glycerine, propylene glycol,

  2. and sucrose. Many companies and lake colour manufacturer use aluminium lake colours for their stable nature. This is a blue colour additive available in both powder and liquid form and used to coat drugs, makeup for the eyes, and most products in the colour blue. Lake colours might seem and behave similar to pigments, but they distinctly differ in performance. The benefits of Lake Colours 1.Due to their stable nature, they do not bleed easily, unlike dye colours that are water-soluble and easily migrate from one area to another, for example, making a red and white product turn pink due to colour bleed. 2.Adapts easily because of their extremely versatile quality. 3.They are used to colour a wide range of products and items, from clothes to drugs to edible items. 4.Easily combine and mix with fats and various oils like cosmetic oils and vegetable oils, glycerine, sucrose, and others. 5.Lake colours are found in varying colour concentrations. 6.They are used as colour additives in the food industry and also for pet foods. 7.Aluminium lake colours are primarily used in makeup products like lipsticks, eye shadow, nail products, and blush. 8.A specific lake colour called aluminium lake, made from plant extracts, is used in the textile industry, which otherwise uses more dyes than lake colours. 9.They are extensively used in the plastic industry. Pigments Pigments, due to their insoluble nature and ultraviolet stability, are essentially used to colour different types of materials used for body and bath products. Pigments are of two kinds: organic and non-organic. Organic pigments are collected from the earth, but due to the risk of them carrying unsafe toxic material, they are now produced in the laboratory for consistency and safety, in accordance with FDA guidelines and enforcement. Pigments are inexpensive and available in a wide range of colours; thus, they are primarily used for bath products like soap, bath salts, liquid soap, bath crystals, etc.

  3. The benefits of Pigments 1.Pigments are essentially used in the production of textiles, bath products, fashion products, and other specialised and specific applications. 2.They are insoluble, and their colour shows when applied externally. 3.The low particle size of pigments results in a more even dispersion, resulting in high colouring power. 4.They are very inexpensive and come in many colours, making them economical to use for dyeing. 5.Laboratory-produced pigment colours by the lake colour manufacturer are safe, of consistent quality, non-toxic, and emit minimal pollution, thus making them environment friendly. 6.Pigments are stable, do not bleed colour easily, and retain colour for years. 7.They are hardy enough to withstand extreme heat, bright light, and different weather and climatic conditions. 8.Different types of pigments are used in the plastic industry due to their eco-friendly nature. The article thus outlines the differences between lake coloours and pigments along with their benefits as lake colour manufacturers choose between the two based on the nature of product required.
