KINGSCOTE

KINGSCOTE liquid tracer dyes, such as the blue, red, and yellow water tracing dyes, cover 100 to 200 gallons per ounce of dye. This coverage rate applies to the standard liquid formulations that dissolve immediately upon contact with water. The exact coverage can vary depending on water clarity, temperature, and the desired visual intensity. For pond dye liquids, the coverage is 4 acre-feet per gallon. These rates are based on typical application conditions and are provided as a guide for dosing.

KINGSCOTE dye cakes, such as the red and green/yellow tracer cakes, dissolve in 45 to 60 minutes. The red cake dissolves in 45 minutes, while the green/yellow cake dissolves in 1 hour. This controlled dissolution allows for gradual release of dye into the water flow, making them suitable for tracing over longer distances or in systems where immediate mixing is not required. The cakes provide strong visual detection for up to 240 gallons or light visual detection for up to 2,400 gallons, depending on water conditions and observation methods.

Detection limits vary by product form. KINGSCOTE liquid water tracing dyes are detectable at 5 ppm (parts per million). Pond dye liquids are detectable at 100 ppb (parts per billion). Dye cakes are also detectable at 100 ppb. These limits indicate the minimum concentration at which the dye can be visually observed or detected with appropriate instrumentation. Actual detection may depend on factors such as water turbidity, lighting, and the observer's method. For critical applications, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale test to confirm visibility.

KINGSCOTE tracer dyes are available in several colors to suit different applications and visibility requirements. The liquid water tracing dyes come in blue, red, and yellow. Pond dye liquid is available in blue. Dye cakes are offered in red and green/yellow. Color selection can be based on the background water color, the presence of other dyes, or specific project requirements. For example, fluorescent colors like green/yellow may be more visible in certain conditions, while blue and red are commonly used for general tracing.

KINGSCOTE solvent dyes are formulated for applications where the dye needs to dissolve in solvents or non-aqueous media, while water tracing dyes are designed for direct dissolution in water. Solvent dyes, such as the blue and red solvent dye liquids, dissolve immediately upon contact with the target medium and are used for tracing in systems containing solvents or fuels. Water tracing dyes, including the standard liquid and pond dyes, are intended for aqueous systems. Both types offer similar coverage rates and detection limits, but the choice depends on the composition of the water or fluid being traced.

3G Electric supplies KINGSCOTE tracer dyes with multiple SKUs available for order. We provide logistics support to ship these products to industrial and environmental customers. Our team can assist with product selection by providing technical specifications, such as coverage rates, dissolution times, and detection limits, to help buyers match the dye to their application.
