Question

What type of colorant can be used to add color to Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1), and is it possible to do so?

Answer

Yes, you can add color to Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1).

To color the Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1), you should use colors that are soluble in oil or specifically designed to be dispersed in oil/ester bases.

  • Oil-soluble dyes: These will dissolve completely in the base, providing a clear, uniform color.
  • Pigments: Pigments do not dissolve but are dispersed in the base. If using pigments, ensure they are very finely ground and suitable for dispersion in oil bases to minimize settling over time. Products like the ReadyMix™ colors which are pre-dispersed in an oil base are often easier to use than raw pigments.

Always check the product description and recommended usage for the specific colorant you choose to ensure it is compatible with oil/ester bases and suitable for diffuser applications.
