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.

I also used it in less than ideal conditions (15 mph wind) and the shoes I was wearing can only be worn when doing yard work now. I gave it 4 stars under SAFE TO USE, not because of any health concerns but because she'll kick your fanny if you track blue footprints in the house (fortunately I was able to avoid that)

Q:How long before the color goes away? Plan on using it over 70 acres of pasture.6/28/18A:I was spraying cactus in my pasture. I would say it’s gone in a day or two. There will be a slight residue left on certain parts of the plant for a few days. I think the surface of the prickly pear cactus may have something to do with how long the die is visible. It also disappears from your skin in about 36 hours.

Q:Can this be used with a hose end sprayer?4/14/18A:I don’t see why not; HOWEVER; I would proceed with CAUTION - anything this gets on is going to be that color (same as dye) and may stain permanently. I would absolutely NOT use a hose end sprayer unless there is ZERO breeze (let alone wind).
