New Industrial Oil Dye Glows Bright Red for Easy Leak Detection

Spectronics Corporation has introduced OIL-GLO™ 50, a new fluorescent dye that glows bright red to detect even the smallest leaks in synthetic- or petroleum-based fluid systems.

OIL-GLO 50 easily pinpoints leaks in a wide variety of oil-based fluid systems such as hydraulic fluid, lubrication fluid, compressor oil, engine oil and gearbox oil.  This dye is super-concentrated so only a small amount is needed to mix with the host fluid for accurate leak detection.

Simply add OIL-GLO 50 dye to any oil-based system and let it circulate.  The dye  escapes with the oil wherever there is a leak and accumulates at all leak sites. Scan the system with a Spectroline® ultraviolet or blue light inspection lamp and the exact location of every leak will be revealed by its bright red glow. 

OIL-GLO™ 50 works with any host fluid and will not damage the fluid’s properties or the system’s components.  The dye can remain safely in the system for periodic re-checks until the oil is changed as part of a preventive maintenance program.
