Bright Dyes® Industrial Red Tablet
- Chemical Family
- Rhodamines
Bright Dyes® Industrial Red Tablet is specially formulated versions of Rhodamine B, one of the traditional fluorescent water tracing and leak detection materials. It may be detected visually, by ultraviolet light and by appropriate fluorometric equipment. Visually the dye appears as a bright dark red to magenta, depending on its concentration and under ultraviolet light as a bright orange.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Compared to Bright Dyes FLT Yellow/Green or FWT Red Dye products, Industrial Red is significantly less resistant to absorption of inorganic / organic suspended matter. This limits its suitability in many applications, particularly where fluorometric detection is needed. This dye has greater resistance to sunlight than FLT Yellow/Green and is equivalent to FWT Red. Industrial Red Dye products should not be used:; In drinking water systems, near drinking water intakes or where downstream impingement on a drinking water system might occur, or; Where any aquatic ecosystem might be chronically exposed to detectable amounts of the dye. The use and suitability of these products should be evaluated by a qualified hydrologist or other industry professional. Store product out of sunlight, in a cool and dry location.
- Storage Condition
Store product out of sunlight, in a cool and dry location.; Shelf life is 4 years from date of purchase.
