Dyes for
Leak Detection

In hydraulic systems, lubricants, and oil-based coolants, even the smallest leak can lead to costly downtime, system damage, or undetected faults. That’s why OEMs rely on DYEGUARD® fluorescent leak detection dyes for final QC checks, offering a fast & accurate way to verify system integrity before products leave the factory.

For formulators and blenders, incorporating DYEGUARD® UV-active dyes adds a powerful diagnostic tool to your fluid, giving end users an easy, reliable method to spot leaks during maintenance or inspection.
