Product Information
Full details
The Agrimark Branding Fluid in Orange is an essential tool for farmers and livestock managers who require a reliable, economical method for identifying sheep. Its primary benefit lies in its versatility, as it works effectively on both wet and dry fleeces when applied with a traditional branding iron. While this product provides high-visibility marking, users must ensure correct application techniques to maintain its fully scourable properties during the wool processing stage.

FAQs
Is Agrimark Orange branding fluid permanent?
It is designed to be permanent enough for field identification but fully scourable so it does not permanently stain the wool during processing.
Can I use this on wet sheep?
Yes, this product is specifically formulated to be applied to both wet and dry fleeces.
What tools do I need to apply it?
This fluid is intended to be applied using a metal branding iron.
Will this affect the value of my wool clip?
When applied correctly, the fluid is fully scourable and should not negatively impact the wool quality at the scouring plant.
How should I store the container?
Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Is the orange color high-visibility?
Yes, the bright orange pigment is chosen specifically for its high contrast against white and natural-colored wool.
Troubleshooting
Mark is appearing faint or illegible
Ensure the branding iron is evenly coated and that you are applying sufficient pressure to reach the base of the fleece.
Fluid is clumping on the wool
Check if the branding iron is too hot or if there is excessive product on the iron; remove excess fluid from the iron before contact.
Mark is running or smearing
The fleece may be too wet or the sheep is moving too much during the branding process; ensure the animal is securely held.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and tightly seal the lid after every use to prevent evaporation or contamination. Before applying, ensure your branding iron is free from rust or old debris to achieve a clean transfer. Always stir or shake the fluid thoroughly before pouring it into a shallow application tray. When branding, ensure the animal is properly restrained to prevent smearing the mark. For disposal, follow local environmental regulations regarding chemical product containers, and always wear appropriate protective gear when handling marking fluids to prevent skin or clothing contact.
