Bright
Dyes FLT
Blue products
are specially
formulated
versions
of food
grade
dye FD & C
Blue.
Bright
Dyes FLT
Blue products
have been
certified
by NSF
International
to the
ANSI/NSF
Standard
60 for
use in
drinking
water.
This dye
is used
for visual
detection
only and
cannot
be seen
under
ultraviolet
light
or detected
by fluorometry.
However,
when used
visually,
its color
is often
thought
to be
more acceptable
to public
view than
the fluorescing
red or
yellow
green
Bright
Dyes products.
In this
respect,
it is
sometimes
used in
fountains,
ponds
and streams
for decorative
effect.
Visually,
the dye
appears
as aqua
to royal
blue depending
on its
concentration
and activity
of the
water.
Based
on biochemical
oxygen
demand
(BOD)
studies,
the dye
is biodegradable
with 77%
of the
available
oxygen
consumed
in 7 days.
As always
the suitability
of these
products
for any
specific
application
should
be evaluated
by a qualified
hydrologist
or other
industry
professional.
