This leak detection fluid features a blend of synthetic surfactants that effectively identify minute leaks by forming visible bubbles. It is neutral, non-corrosive, and resistant to bacterial action, ensuring no residue is left behind. Packaged in a convenient squeeze bottle, it is ready for immediate use on various metal surfaces.
Leak-Tec® formulas consist of mixtures of stable synthetic surfactants with low surface tension and low interfacial tension on metals, whether clean, tarnished, oily or covered with oxidation products. Leak-Tec® wets, spreads evenly and rapidly and responds to minute leaks with clusters of bubbles which collapse and re-form continually (the eye can see this far better than the gradual growth of one or two larger bubbles). Leak-Tec® is approximately neutral (in the same range as good quality water), keeps well, is immune to bacterial action and does not develop sediment for any reason. Leak-Tec® is no more corrosive than water and leaves no undesirable residue upon evaporation (e.g. allows paint to adhere well even if not wiped or flushed away). Leak-Tec® is packaged for immediate and convenient use.
Features & Benefits
Thin film bubble testing is the most common and one of the most reliable methods of detecting and locating leaks. Thin film leak testing has many inherent advantages
It is easy-to-use and requires little operator training
It is inexpensive to use and not subject to break down like complex instrumentation
It operates immediately and continues to give indications
It can be extremely sensitive, finding leaks down to 1 x 10-6 (0.000001) standard cc/sec, the equivalent of losing a pound of Freon every 2700 Years
Meets the corrosion and faying edge requirements of MIL-PRF-25567E
