What is SL3600 Leak Detection Fluorescent UV Dye for Auto Refrigerant HVAC？
Fluorescent Oils dye 3600 is a concentrated solvent soluble dye containing high conjugate polycyclic compounds in a polyol ester oil system. The product is an amber colored liquid and has been found to be completely miscible in most petroleum or organic based products such as POE&PAG.The solvent is used in the product as a viscosity depressant and standardizing agent. Fluorescent Oils dye 3600 is applicable to POE/PAG lubricant, mineral oil lubricant, and also available for system using Poly Vinyl Ether (PVE) lubricant.

Application
Typical Uses
Fluorescent Oils dye 3600 can be used for leak detection in air conditioning systems. Applications include HVAC/R and Automobile air conditioning. This application requires addition of the fluorescent dye to the compressor oil or the refrigerant and subsequent examination of the A/C system using a high intensity black light. Leaks are easily detected with this system by the intense bright yellow fluorescence of the dye. This fluorescence is readily distinguished from the natural blue fluorescence found in some oils.
Application Recommendations
Introduction of the dye into the system can be carried out in one of two ways. Dye may be premixed with A/C compressor oil or refrigerant and added to the A/C system prior to the test or use specific injector to add fluorescent dye with system off or running.
Leakage is monitored during and after test by examining the A/C system with a high intensity black light. Leakage is readily detected by the presence of a bright yellow fluorescence caused by the presence of the dye.
Fluorescent Oils dye 3600 can remain safely in the system without harmful effects to A/C system. This makes it fast and easy to pinpoint leaks, confirm repairs and perform future preventive maintenance checks.
