- Product 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
- 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.
- Features
- Best for closed loop application

- Has greater heat stability
- Best for moderate to large volumes of water, more than 20,000 gallons
- May be used for visual, ultravioletand fluorometricinspections
- Very rapid rate of dispersion
