Fluorescein and tracer dyes for leak detection

Fluorescein is a water-soluble dye used as a tracer in many industrial and environmental applications. It is particularly valued for its intense fluorescence when exposed to UV light, which allows rapid and effective detection of flows and leaks invisible to the naked eye.

Uses and advantages of fluorescein:

• Optimal traceability: Thanks to its high fluorescence, it can identify even the smallest infiltrations, leaks, and migrations of liquids in hydraulic and industrial infrastructure.
• Wide range of applications: Used in drinking water networks, sanitation, cooling circuits, underground infiltration detection, and hydrological analysis.
• Safe and environmentally friendly: Formulated to be non-toxic and biodegradable, fluorescein complies with environmental standards and can be used safely in sensitive environments such as food processing and environmental studies.
• Available in several forms: Powder, concentrated liquid or ready-to-use, to suit the specific needs of each sector.
• Simple and effective to use: It can be injected directly into a circuit, diluted in water or applied using special syringes for even distribution.

Our tracer dye solutions are designed to meet all professional requirements. In addition, we offer all-in-one tracing kits including dyes, injection systems, and UV lamps, ensuring efficient and fast inspection. Our experts will assist you in selecting the right product and implementing solutions tailored to your specific application.

Professional UV lamps for detection accuracy

UV lamps are essential for maximizing the effectiveness of fluorescent tracers. They enable the identification of even the smallest leaks, including those that are only visible under specific lighting conditions. Thanks to their intensity and wavelength, they ensure optimal detection in a variety of industrial and technical environments.

How do UV lamps work?

UV lamps emit ultraviolet light that activates the fluorescent particles in the tracers. This chemical reaction instantly reveals leaks or abnormal flows. The effectiveness of UV lamps depends on several factors, including:

• Wavelength: UV lamps are available in several spectra, typically between 365 and 395 nm, to optimize the fluorescence of the tracers.
• Light intensity: Higher power improves the visibility of leaks, even in broad daylight or in environments with high light pollution.

 

At Fluotracking, our UV lamps are available in several models tailored to the specific needs of technicians and maintenance professionals. Each type of lamp offers specific features depending on the application and the required detection intensity.

Fluorescence tracing solutions for professionals and individuals

Fluotracking fluorescent tracing solutions are suitable for a wide range of professional sectors and individual needs, ensuring accurate, reliable and efficient leak detection. Used in industry, maintenance, the environment, construction, and domestic infrastructure, they enable the source of leaks to be quickly identified, thereby reducing repair costs and minimizing environmental impact. Our products are designed to offer optimal performance by adapting to the technical and regulatory requirements of each field. Thanks to advanced technology, our fluorescent tracers ensure accurate diagnosis, whether for one-off inspections, long-term monitoring or domestic leak detection.

Our tracing solutions are suitable for residential plumbing networks, home heating and air conditioning systems, as well as private swimming pools and ponds. This allows homeowners to quickly detect invisible leaks in their systems and avoid costly repairs. For professionals, our products cover a wide range of applications, from industrial infrastructure and agricultural facilities to research laboratories and irrigation systems.

Fluorescent tracers are essential tools for improving preventive maintenance and avoiding costly malfunctions. By integrating our solutions into your process, you benefit from a reliable method for detecting anomalies before they become critical. Our tracing solutions are compatible with many types of liquids and materials, ensuring maximum adaptability to all infrastructures, whether industrial, residential, or agricultural.

Our fluorescent tracing solutions are not only designed for professionals, they are also ideal for homeowners who want to maintain and preserve their domestic installations. With our UV tracers and fluorescent dyes, it is easier to quickly identify and locate invisible leaks, avoiding costly repairs and structural damage.

Our tracers are widely used to detect leaks in domestic plumbing systems, enabling the precise identification of water loss in built-in or buried pipes. They are also very effective for checking the watertightness of swimming pools and ponds, detecting micro-cracks and infiltrations responsible for significant water loss. Even a small pool leak can lead to excessive water consumption and high treatment costs. Our fluorescent tracers quickly locate the leak, whether it is in the lining, joints, filtration system, or supply and drainage pipes. The use of a fluorescent dye in the pool water allows you to accurately visualize the leak points, facilitating repairs without the need for major dismantling.

Bathrooms and kitchens are also sensitive areas where leaks can cause significant damage. Our tracing solutions are ideal for detecting leaks under sinks, showers, bathtubs, and sinks, which are often hidden behind walls or under tiles. An undetected leak can cause mold, water infiltration into walls, and costly structural damage. With UV tracers, problem areas can be quickly identified and corrective action taken before the situation worsens.

Our solutions are also suitable for residential heating and air conditioning systems, facilitating the diagnosis of central heating circuits, heat pumps, and underfloor heating. A leak in these systems can lead to reduced energy efficiency and increased consumption costs. Our UV tracers allow you to accurately identify anomalies and act quickly to prevent further deterioration.

In addition to ensuring preventive maintenance of domestic installations, our tracers are ideal for testing the watertightness of rainwater tanks and septic tanks, thus guaranteeing optimal operation and avoiding any risk of leakage or contamination.
