Lake Food Colors
Unleashing Bold Color Stability – Perfect for Coatings, Icing, and Baked Goods!
German Lake Pigments are ideal for applications where dyes are not suitable due to their water solubility. They are commonly used in coating applications, icing where color bleeding must be avoided, and baked goods where color migration is a concern.
Powder Form: This form is perfect for dry applications. Even a small amount of lake pigment adds a vibrant color to dry mixes.
Applications: Suitable for use in oil, sugar syrup, propylene glycol, glycerin, and other materials, depending on the customer’s specific requirements.
