- Product Highlights
The dye is resistant to absorption on most suspended matter in fresh and salt water. However, compared to Bright Dyes FLT Yellow/Green products it is significantly more resistant to degradation by sunlight and when used in fluoremetry, stands out much more clearly against background fluorescence. As always the suitability of these products for any specific application should be evaluated by a qualified hydrologist or other industry professional.
- Features
- Red offers greater contrast to heavy concentrations of green algae
- If the water were yellow Bright Dyes FWT Red would be best
- It’s fluorescent properties offers greater apparent contrast than non-fluorescent blue
- May be used for visual, ultravioletand fluorometricinspections
- Has a higher light fastness than FLT Yellow/Green
- Resistant to the absorption of suspended matter
- Best for moderate to large volumes of water, more than 20,000 gallons
- Very rapid rate of dispersion
