Dye Tracers
- Safe

- Non-Toxic
- Biodegradable
- NSF Certified
- EPA Approved
Choosing a product
color:
- Choice of color should
be based on contrast to the background color of the water body. For
instance, FWT Red offers greater contrast to heavy concentrations of
algae.
- Fluorescent FWT Red and
FLT Yellow/Green because of their fluorescent nature have a greater
apparent contrast than non-fluorescent blue.
- For fluorometric
testing use fluorescent FWT Red 200, it is more easily detected by
fluorometric equipment.
- Fluorescent FWT Red and
FLT Yellow/Green may also be detected visually with a simple hand-held
laboratory black light (UV) at significantly lower levels - in the range
of 10ppb.
- Blue is frequently used
for decorative effects, evaluation of household systems, and generally
where the blue may be more acceptable to public view
- FLT Yellow/Green
disappears in sunlight more rapidly than Fluorescent FWT Red and
non-fluorescent Blue.
- All colors are
resistant to the absorption of suspended matter.
