Description
💡 Activ8 AE Flow-Trace Fluorescent Dye
High-Visibility Tracing Solution for Sewer, Plumbing & Environmental Applications
Overview
Activ8 AE Flow-Trace Fluorescent Dye is a highly concentrated liquid tracing aid designed for tracking water movement in sewer systems, storm drains, plumbing networks, and environmental flow studies. When introduced into water, it produces a vivid fluorescent yellow-green color that is easily visible in both clear and turbid conditions.
The dye is commonly used for leak detection, flow direction analysis, pollution investigations, and system verification. Its formulation is biodegradable and non-toxic, making it suitable for environmental applications when used at recommended dilutions. The fluorescent color can be visually tracked in daylight and low-light conditions and can also be detected using UV black light or fluorometers for precise monitoring and documentation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does Activ8 AE Flow-Trace Fluorescent Dye do?
It colors water with a bright fluorescent hue so flow paths, leaks, and connections can be visually tracked and documented.
Is the dye safe for environmental use?
Yes. When used at recommended dilution rates, it is biodegradable and non-toxic.
Can it be detected at night or underground?
Yes. The dye is highly visible under UV black light and can be measured using fluorometers.
Will it affect wastewater treatment processes?
No. When properly diluted, it does not interfere with normal sewer or treatment operations.
How long does the color remain visible?
Visibility depends on dilution, flow rate, and system volume, but the dye remains detectable long enough for most tracing studies.
🧪 Active Ingredient(s) or Core Composition
• Water – Carrier for uniform dispersion
• Acid Yellow 73 – Fluorescent dye that provides high-visibility tracing
• Sodium Hydroxide – Stabilizer that maintains dye performance
📌 Directions for Use (Summary)
For flow studies and leak detection, apply 1–2 gallons per approximately 12,000 gallons of water to achieve visible coloration.
Introduce dye at the desired entry point and observe downstream locations for color appearance.
Adjust dosage based on water volume, flow rate, and visibility requirements.
⚠️ Safety & Handling
Caution. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear protective gloves and protective eyewear during handling. Wash thoroughly after use. Keep out of reach of children.
