Tracer Products unveils rite-blend coolant dye

Tracer Products has introduced its new TP-3940 Dye-Lite Rite-Blend blended fluorescent leak detection dye, which it says can be used for extended-life and conventional coolants.

Approved by General Motors, this specially formulated dye will not affect the color of extended-life coolants, Tracer says. This helps to avoid improper mixing and possible damage to the cooling system. Rite-Blend dye also can be used with any fluorescent leak detection lamp.

According to Tracer, Rite-Blend dye reveals even the smallest leaks in cooling systems. Just add a small amount to a system and allow it to circulate. Wherever the coolant leaks out, so does the dye, which remains at the site of each leak. When the system is scanned with a Tracerline inspection lamp, the dye glows a bright green to show the exact location of all leaks, the company says.
