Solvent Red 175 Concentrate

Description

Rekhaoil® solvent red 175 is a concentrated solvent soluble dye containing Solvent Red 175 in a high flash hydrotreated naphthenic solvent system. The product is a dark colored liquid and has been found to be completely miscible in most petroleum or organic based products. The solvent is used in the product as a viscosity depressant and standardizing agent. Solvent red 175 can be used for detecting oil leaks in gasoline and diesel engines as well as hydraulic oil systems. This application requires addition of the fluorescent dye to the engine oil and subsequent examination of the engine using a high intensity black light. Leaks are easily detected with this system by the intense white-yellow fluorescence of the dye. This fluorescence is readily distinguished from the natural blue fluorescence found in some oils.

The following recommendations are provided as a starting point for typical leak detection applications. Actual dosage will depend on the specific needs of the customer.

 Hydraulic & Transmission Fluids-500 to 2000 ppm

 Car Engine Oils- 500 to 2000 ppm

Diesel Engine Oils -700 to 2000 ppm
