Super Marking Dye- Blue
Super Marking Dye- Blue
For a deeper and more effective blue indicator, check out Vision Pro Max. It is the strongest, highest concentrated blue marking dye on the market and is specially formulated for professionals who need a reliable and flexible spray indicator.
Super Marking Dye- Blue is a high strength blue marking dye that is a colorant used to monitor spray applications. The dye helps during the spraying process by making it easy to indicate where you have sprayed to prevent overspray and drift into unwanted areas.
Unlike other dyes, this marking dye mixes easily and is stronger so you may use less without harming functionality or effectiveness of your chosen pesticide. Super Marking Dye- Blue is flexible, user-friendly, non-hazardous, and disappears in any weather condition.
Tools Needed
To use Super Marking Dye, you will need to mix the product with a selected pesticide in a handheld sprayer, a backpack sprayer or a professional pesticide spraying rig.
How to Use
- Step 1: Mix your pesticide concentrate with water in your selected spraying container. Follow the pesticide label directions for proper mix and usage rates, filling the sprayer or tank halfway with water, adding the appropriate amount of pesticide, then filling the sprayer with the remaining half of water.
- Step 2: Add in the marking dye to the sprayer based on how much liquid you have and the container size. Typically the rate is 4 to 12 ounces per 100 gallons of spray solution. However, for a stronger and more reliable blue, we recommend mixing 32 ounces per 100 gallons of spray solution. For smaller spray applications using backpacks and small sprayers, use 0.33 to 0.66 oz, (approximately 2 to 4 tsp.) per three-gallon tank. Agitate the sprayer so the dye mixes well.
- Step 3: Apply the dyed spray mixture to the selected areas for treatment.
Where to Use
Super Marking Dye can be used in aquatic, industrial, municipal, utility, right-of way and any other applications where its necessary to use pesticides, herbicides, and/or fertilizers.
When to Use
Use Super Marking Dye when you would like to easily monitor a spray application and prevent drift or overapplying in areas, especially areas which are sensitive to pesticides.
Safety Information
Super Marking Dye is safe to use when applied according to label directions. Always have on the necessary PPE (gloves, glasses, face mark) when mixing and applying chemicals.
Special Considerations
Alligare Super Marking Dye disappears rapidly in any weather condition, and blends completely with pesticides (insecticides and herbicides) and fertilizers, without influencing their effectiveness.

Q:ls it ok to use this on a white rocked driveway? Will it stain the rocks permanently?2/7/23A:In my experience it won’t stain them permanently, but they could be blue for a long, long time. Duration will depend on how much direct sun and/or rain you get. I would not use this product in that particular application.

Q:Will this affect cattle grazing?2/12/21A:Label says harmful if swallowed. And since I also live on a ranch with Cattle and know how nosey they are I would not use this in a pasture. I am sure they would be curious and eat the blue colored grass.

Q:Is the dye permanent if it dries on fiberglass?10/8/20A:I can't speak specifically about fiberglass, but I have never had anything permanently stained by this dye. I've gotten full concentration drops on clothes, concrete, plastic, steel, brick, and wood and it always washes off or fade away after a few days. It takes some effort to get it off your skin, but it does come of with plenty of scrubbing.

Q:Can it go with MSM Turf Herbicide (Manor)?10/10/19A:Probably. But, take it from me - pay the little extra and buy the Alligaire brand stuff - 1/2 as much goes twice as far! This stuff was ridiculously ineffective at allowing us to see any indication of where we had delayed it! We wound us using so much of this stuff per gallon it wound up actually being more expensive than the Alligaire brand , in the long run ... Caveat Emptor!

Q:What is the shelf life of this product? How long can I continue using the contents after opening the bottle?7/20/18A:It is just an indicator dye. So even if it hardens in the future you add water and it is fine. However I will say I have seen it last 3 or more years on a shelf and still be as good as when you bought it.
