Tracer dyes

Tracer dyes : an essential solution for leak detection

Non-fluorescent tracer dyes are designed to be soluble in water or other liquids. Once added to a fluid, they disperse evenly and follow the natural flow of the liquid, allowing leaks to be detected and water movement to be analysed within a given circuit. Their strong colouring power ensures maximum visibility to the naked eye, making technical interventions easier and more accurate. These products are used in a wide range of applications, from plumbing maintenance to wastewater network monitoring and hydrological analysis.

To prevent backflow, isolate the branch using inflatable pipe stoppers suited to the pipe diameter.

Non-fluorescent tracer dyes: typical applications

Non-fluorescent tracer dyes are mainly used in situations requiring simple visual identification without the need for UV lamps. They are ideal for leak detection in pipelines, water flow tracking in rivers, and infiltration studies in buildings. In murky water, purple dye is recommended for higher contrast. Their use is particularly valued in environments where fluorescent substances are not suitable due to technical or regulatory restrictions.

Visual pipeline tracing

Non-fluorescent tracer dyes in blue, red, green, yellow, orange, and violet provide an effective way to visually monitor liquid flow through pipeline systems. Their high visibility allows rapid identification of flow paths, making them particularly useful for mapping complex networks or identifying connection errors. Construction and sanitation professionals frequently use them to optimise infrastructure maintenance. Additionally, these dyes can be applied in renovation or inspection projects to verify circuit continuity and assess overall condition.

If continuous flow must be maintained, use a DN50 through-flow stopper.

Leak detection in drinking water networks

In drinking water systems, leak detection is crucial to prevent unnecessary water loss and ensure supply quality. Non-fluorescent tracer dyes, compliant with sanitary regulations, are used to locate leaks without compromising water potability. They allow accurate identification of problematic zones, making repair work faster and less invasive.

Their use is especially relevant in regions with limited water resources, where every loss represents a significant cost. For quick testing, use a ready-to-use dye syringe.

Tracing in hygienically sensitive environments

In healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical, and food-processing industries, non-fluorescent tracer dyes comply with strict hygiene and safety standards. They are used to check for cross-contamination, ensure proper circuit operation, and maintain the integrity of distribution systems without altering the tested fluids. To visualise airflow, use our smoke generators. Their use is essential for maintaining sanitary compliance and consumer protection. In some cases, these dyes are used to test filtration system integrity and detect potential leaks that could cause contamination. In clear water, blue dye provides excellent contrast.
