BRIGHT DYES
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BRIGHT DYES from 3G Electric.
What is the detection limit of BRIGHT DYES water tracing dyes?
BRIGHT DYES water tracing dyes are detectable at concentrations below 100 parts per billion (ppb). This applies to both liquid and solid forms, including the liquid dyes with 1.3 cps and 1.8 cps viscosity, as well as the wax donuts. The low detection threshold allows users to trace water movement over large volumes with minimal dye, making it suitable for applications where high dilution occurs.
How long do BRIGHT DYES wax donuts take to dissolve?
BRIGHT DYES wax donuts dissolve over a period of 3 to 5 hours when placed in water. This controlled dissolution provides a sustained release of dye, which is useful for tracing flow over extended durations. The donuts are available in red, with coverage of 7,400 gallons for strong visual detection and 74,000 gallons for light visual detection. They are detectable below 100 ppb.
What coverage can I expect from BRIGHT DYES liquid tracer dyes?
Coverage depends on the specific product and color. For example, the yellow/green and blue liquid dyes with 1.8 cps viscosity provide strong visual detection up to 12,500 gallons and light visual detection up to 125,000 gallons. The red liquid with 1.3 cps viscosity covers 6,250 gallons for strong visual detection and 62,500 gallons for light visual detection. Orange liquid covers 4,000 gallons strong and 40,000 gallons light. These figures assume typical water clarity and viewing conditions.
Are BRIGHT DYES tracer dyes available in different colors?
Yes, BRIGHT DYES tracer dyes are available in multiple colors including red, blue, yellow/green, and orange. Color selection allows for differentiation when multiple tracers are used simultaneously or when background water color could interfere. The color options apply to liquid dyes, and at least red is available in wax donut form. Each color has specific coverage volumes and dissolution characteristics.
What viscosity are BRIGHT DYES liquid tracer dyes?
BRIGHT DYES liquid tracer dyes are available in two viscosities: 1.3 cps and 1.8 cps. The 1.3 cps variant is offered in red, while the 1.8 cps variant is available in red, blue, yellow/green, and orange. Viscosity affects handling and mixing characteristics; lower viscosity may flow more readily, while higher viscosity can influence dispersion. Both dissolve immediately upon contact with water.
