TECHNICAL DATA STANDARD BLUE WAX

Bright Dyes Standard Blue Dye products are specially formulated versions of the dye Acid Blue 9. 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. Bright Dyes Standard Blue products have been certified by NSF International to the ANSI/NSF Standard 60 for use in drinking water at specific levels. As always the suitability of these products for any specific application should be evaluated by a qualified hydrologist or other industry professional.

General Use:

* Examine Water Movement, Current, Flow (In springs, streams, lakes, ocean etc.)
* Flow Mapping, Tracing and Time Studies
* Pollution Studies (Discharge-Rate of Flow-Mixing, Diffusion and Dispersion- Circulation)
