Full details
Agrimark Marking Paste is designed for sheep farmers and livestock managers who require a reliable, highly visible solution for animal identification and management. Its primary benefit is its versatility, as it maintains excellent adhesion on both wet and dry fleeces, though users should be mindful that it requires manual application techniques for consistent results.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this paste safe for the wool quality?
Yes, the product is fully scourable and designed to wash out completely during the standard wool scouring process, ensuring no impact on wool value.
Can I use this on wet sheep?
Yes, the Agrimark Marking Paste is specifically formulated to adhere effectively to both wet and dry fleeces.
What is the best way to apply the paste?
You can use a brush, a hand-held stick, or a branding iron depending on the type of mark you need to achieve.
How should I store the 5kg bucket?
Store in a cool, dry location with the lid securely closed to prevent the paste from hardening.
Is this the same as the 2.5kg version?
Yes, the formulation is identical, but the 5kg size is designed for larger flock management needs.
Troubleshooting
Paste is difficult to apply evenly
Ensure the application tool is clean and the surface of the wool is free of heavy matted debris.
Mark is fading too quickly
Ensure the paste is applied with sufficient pressure using a branding iron or stiff brush to penetrate the fleece rather than resting on the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, keep the paste container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the product from drying out. When applying, ensure your tools are clean to maintain consistent pigment distribution. If using a branding iron, check that the iron is free of old, hardened residue before dipping. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the chemical integrity of the marking compound. While the product is fully scourable, it is recommended to follow standard industry practice regarding wool handling to ensure the best results during the scouring process.
