Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 3205.00.50
Phthalocyanine Blue Lake
Phthalocyanine blue lake adsorbs the dye onto a substrate for superior tinting strength in printing inks and coatings. Classified HTS 3205.00.50 for color lake preparations based on note 3. Provides weather-resistant pigmentation.
Allura Red AC Lake
Allura Red AC Lake (FD&C Red 40 Lake) is used in beverages, cereals, and mouthwashes, laked for fat solubility. HTS 3205.00.50 covers this other color lake preparation.
Indigo Carmine Lake
Indigo carmine lake for confectionery and pharma coatings. HTS 3205.00.50 as color lake.
Erythrosine Lake (FD&C Red 3)
Erythrosine lake for cherries and cosmetics. 3205.00.50 classification.
Brilliant Black BN Lake
Brilliant Black lake for olives and soft drinks.
Green S Lake
Green S lake pigment for soaps and toothpaste.
Patent Blue V Lake
Patent Blue lake for medical dyes and sweets.
Fast Yellow Lake
Fast Yellow lake for plastics coloring.
Helindone Pink Lake
Helindone Pink lake for textiles.
Aluminum Lake of Sunset Yellow
Sunset Yellow lake for beverages.
Calcium Lake of Amaranth
Amaranth calcium lake for confectionery.
Carmine Lake Pigment
Carmine lake is a synthetic color lake derived from cochineal carmine, where the water-soluble dye is precipitated onto an aluminum hydroxide substrate to create an insoluble pigment. It falls under HTS 3205.00.50 as a color lake preparation used in cosmetics, food coloring, and artists' paints. This classification applies to lakes based on natural or synthetic dyes as specified in chapter note 3.
FD&C Blue 1 Aluminum Lake
FD&C Blue 1 Aluminum Lake is a color lake made by adsorbing Brilliant Blue FCF dye onto aluminum hydroxide, rendering it oil-dispersible for use in lipsticks, candies, and pharmaceuticals. Classified under HTS 3205.00.50 as a preparation based on color lakes per chapter note 3, distinct from the parent dye. It's widely used where water-insoluble pigments are needed.
Quinacridone Magenta Lake
Quinacridone magenta lake is a high-performance organic pigment lake used in automotive paints, plastics, and inks, created by laking quinacridone dye on a substrate for enhanced lightfastness. It is classified under HTS 3205.00.50 for other color lake preparations as per note 3. This distinguishes it from non-laked synthetic dyes.
Tartrazine Lake (FD&C Yellow 5 Lake)
Tartrazine lake, or FD&C Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake, precipitates the azo dye tartrazine onto alumina for use in chewing gum, cosmetics, and pet foods. Under HTS 3205.00.50 as other color lakes per chapter note 3, it's insoluble unlike the parent dye. Ideal for fat-based applications.
