Dyes for Wood Stains

spirit soluble dyes exhibit excellent alcohol compatibility. they are also soluble in solvents such as MEK, acetone, glycols and cellosolve. Similar to the water-soluble dyes mentioned, you can premix the alcohol with the solvent and then add the dye, or the dye can be added to the alcohol, finishing with your desired amount of solvents. These dyes can tolerate a small amount of solvent such as hydrocarbons. However, keep this amount to less than 10% of the finished volume. Use high speed mixing equipment to achieve a successful homogenous stain solution. These spirit-soluble dyes are compatible with spirit-soluble lacquers.
