NF DYES FOR LUBRICANTS
AND GREASES

Preserving colour accuracy does not have to mean compromising on handling safety. At John Hogg Technical Solutions, we focus on developing high-quality solvent dyes that are safe, cost-effective, and perfectly suited to your applications.

Our NF dyes minimize handling risks, reduce operational costs, and meet global compliance standards. With extensive knowledge, the ability to manufacture in-house and a tailored, consultative approach, our expert colour team delivers high-quality solutions formulated for your brand, sector and application.

The Challenge

High-quality solvent dyes colour a wide range of oil-based liquids and are integral to the manufacture of leading lubricants, NDT and aerobatic smoke products. However, there’s now an increasing industry need for lower-hazard alternatives, which improve safety and deliver the same high levels of performance.

What is Naphthalene?

Naphthalene is a chemical that is commonly found in aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, which are complex mixtures. When naphthalene is in a product over a certain percentage, it must be labelled with the hazard class H351 (carcinogenic). During the refining process, it is possible to reduce the naphthalene content. Our improved solvent system has had the level depleted to below 1%.

The Solution

Whatever the colour requirements, technical specification, handling needs, industry or application, John Hogg can deliver a speciality dye solution to match. Our innovative lower – naphthalene (NF) range includes high-quality, vibrant solvent dye options that help to minimise environmental and health hazards, without compromising on performance.
