Blackout is a water-based colourant which can be used in lakes, ponds, and other enclosed water bodies to create a natural-looking reflective water surface.
As well as enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the water, Blackout also creates shading. This reduces the growth of algae and aquatic weeds as photosynthesis decreases. The pigments used in Blackout are non-toxic and it can, therefore, be used in fisheries, fishponds, and in irrigation waters.
Key benefits:
- Creates a natural-looking reflective surface on water
- Naturally reduces growth of algae and aquatic weeds
- Non-toxic and suitable for use in irrigation water
Application eqiupment:
- Pour required quantity directly into water. Natural movement of the water will disperse the dye
- Dispersion can be improved by leaving water features running to increase the circulation of the water
Summary

| Active substances: | An aqueous blend of non-hazardous pigments |
| Application timing: | For best results start using early in the year before algae and aquatic weeds are growing |
| Applications per year: | Continue applying at monthly intervals or as colour effect decreases |
| Crops: | Enclosed waters |
