About KINGSCOTE

KINGSCOTE is a brand specializing in tracer dyes and pond dyes used for water tracing, leak detection, and aquatic coloration. The product line includes both solid dye cakes (often referred to as donuts) and liquid dyes available in colors such as yellow/green, blue, red, and yellow. Solid cakes have dissolution times ranging from 45 minutes to 1 hour, while liquid dyes dissolve immediately upon contact with water. Detectability thresholds vary by product: solid cakes are detectable at concentrations below 100 ppb, and liquid dyes are detectable at 5 ppm. Coverage specifications are provided per unit—for example, a single cake can color 240 gallons for strong visual detection or 2,400 gallons for light visual detection; liquid dyes cover 100 to 200 gallons per ounce, and pond dye liquids cover 4 acre-feet per gallon. The dyes are formulated for use in water systems, including potable water, wastewater, irrigation, and industrial cooling circuits. KINGSCOTE products are supplied by 3G Electric as part of its instrumentation and testing equipment category. 3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs across the tracer dye liquid and cake families, offering procurement specialists a single source for these consumables. The dyes are designed for field use where rapid visual confirmation of flow paths, leak points, or mixing zones is required. No special handling equipment is needed for application; cakes are dropped directly into the water body, and liquids can be poured or injected. The brand does not publish specific certifications or regulatory approvals in the product data provided, so buyers should verify compliance with local water-quality regulations for their intended application. 3G Electric supports the line with logistics for global shipment, enabling plant engineers and maintenance managers to maintain inventory of these consumables without relying on multiple suppliers.

Common Applications
