OIL-GLO™ 22 Fluorescent Leak Detection Dye

If It’s Oil-Based and It Leaks, Think OIL-GLO! For more than 45 years, OIL-GLO 22 has been the standard in quickly pinpointing all problem oil leaks in industrial applications. Just add this safe and easy-to-use fluorescent dye to your system and shine a high-intensity Spectroline ultraviolet or UV/blue light lamp on the suspect area. The exact source of every leak will shine with a bright yellow-green glow.

  • Hydraulic systems: Hydraulic cylinder and equipment manufacturers use OIL-GLO in their quality control procedures before shipping their new products. It’s ideal for field maintenance as well.
  • Leak testing of gaskets and seals: Used in engines, air compressors, transmission gearboxes and most industrial oil-based lubrication systems.
  • Many other uses: Additional applications include leak testing of offset printing presses, milling and injection-molding machines, locomotive engine oil coolers, and all circulating oil systems. OIL-GLO is also found in gasket and seal development labs, and has been employed in visual inspection methods that involve coating a part with a mixture of oil and OIL-GLO and inspecting it with ultraviolet light for imperfections. Eliminate contamination, machinery wear and safety hazards related to undetected oil leaks.
  • Custom blends for your application: OIL-GLO is available in custom blends to accommodate the “host fluid” in your particular system, whether you are using petroleum-based or synthetic lubricants.

Simple 2-step Procedure:

  1. Add OIL-GLO to a system and circulate (or cycle) the fluid.
  2. Inspect the suspect area with a high-intensity Spectroline ultraviolet or UV/blue light lamp. All leaks, even the smallest ones, will glow a bright yellow-green. Approved for service applications by major industrial and vehicle manufacturers, OIL-GLO is ideal for preventive maintenance, quality control, and research & development
    procedures.

Laboratory Tested
Particle contamination testing to SAE/ISO specifications has shown that OIL-GLO meets or exceeds cleanliness levels for new hydraulic fluids. In addition, OIL-GLO does not contain wear or contaminant metals.
