Fluorescent Dye Locates Aviation Fluid Leaks Fast

Spectronics Corporation has introduced Aero-Brite™ Universal Fluorescent Leak Detection Dye — a quick and easy way to pinpoint the exact source of all fuel, lubrication and hydraulic leaks in aviation systems.

Simply add a small amount of super-concentrated Aero-Brite dye to the aircraft system and let it circulate.  The dye/fluid mixture will accumulate at even the smallest leak sites.  Scan the area with a Spectroline® high-intensity UV inspection lamp and a bright yellow/green glow will show the precise location of every leak.

Aero-Brite dye is specially formulated to work with any host fluid.  It will not damage the fluid’s properties or any of the system’s components.  Aero-Brite allows inspection of the entire system under most operating conditions, and it is ideal for both in-flight and static testing.  The dye can remain safely in the system as part of a preventive maintenance program.
