Fluorescent Leak Detection and Tracing Powder VIOLET – DETECT+ PURPLE

Undetected leaks or water infiltrations can cause costly structural damage, especially when they remain invisible to the naked eye. The fluorescent leak detection powder VIOLET – DETECT+ PURPLE provides a highly effective solution: once diluted, it reveals hidden water pathways under a 365 nm UV lamp. This violet tracer dye is specifically designed for demanding diagnostic applications in both construction and industry. By offering clear and immediate fluorescent visibility, it helps professionals pinpoint leaks, infiltration points, and hidden hydraulic connections. In short, it prevents costly repairs and enhances diagnostic reliability.

APPLICATIONS AND TIPS

Building Applications

Roofs and Terraces (Waterproofing Tests)

DETECT+ PURPLE is ideal for flat roof and terrace waterproofing inspections. By diluting the powder into test water, you can detect infiltrations beneath membranes or coatings. Under UV light, leaks and weak spots fluoresce brightly, making even micro-leaks visible.

Façades and Walls (Infiltration Control)

On façades, underground walls, or claddings, a diluted solution can be applied to track water infiltration. The tracer spreads through damp areas, clearly visible under UV inspection. This method helps identify capillary rise, cracks, or waterproofing failures.

Bathrooms and Pools

For swimming pools, basins, or sanitary installations, this tracer dye highlights subtle leaks in joints, coatings, or surrounding pipelines. It is also useful for verifying waterproofing in pool networks and filtration circuits.

PIPES AND NETWORKS (WASTEWATER, RAINWATER, BURIED DUCTS)

DETECT+ PURPLE is particularly suitable for testing the connections of wastewater and rainwater pipes. By injecting the fluorescent solution at a specific point in the network (manhole, drain, rainwater downpipe, etc.), it is possible to visually track the flow of water under UV light and thus:

  • Verify if a connection is compliant or if there are between rainwater and wastewater networks;
  • Quickly identify ;
  • Precisely map the actual route of pipes and buried ducts, even when they are .

This method is for establishing a reliable diagnosis of buried networks.

Industrial Applications

Cooling Circuits

In cooling water or glycol systems, the tracer highlights micro-leaks in piping, heat exchangers, or radiators. It is particularly valuable for preventive maintenance and troubleshooting.

Tanks and Reservoirs

For tanks, reservoirs, and similar equipment, DETECT+ PURPLE can be used to verify sealing and detect micro-fissures. Under UV light, leaking areas fluoresce, simplifying leak localisation.

Industrial Processes and Maintenance

The tracer is suitable for a wide variety of industrial processes: from water circuits to hydraulic systems, it provides a reliable diagnostic tool for leak detection and sealing verification.

R&D and Simulation

In research projects, laboratory studies, or prototype testing, DETECT+ PURPLE is used to simulate flow behaviour, assess fluid dispersion, or visualise micro-leaks in experimental setups.

Safety and Standards

  • Safety : the product is non-polluting, non-toxic, and safe for the environment provided that the conditions of use and the prescribed dosage are respected.

  • Origin / Manufacturing : this product is made in France.

  • Responsible use : respect the dosages to avoid any uncontrolled impact; dispose of residues in accordance with local protocols.

Instructions and Recommended Dosage

  • Product Dilution Pre-dilute DETECT+ PURPLE powder in the test water or relevant fluid (test water, water circuits, etc.).

  • Recommended Dosage 0.1 g to 0.5 g per liter of water (approximately 1 g for 10 liters), depending on the desired fluorescence intensity and test configuration.

  • Homogeneous Mixture Stir or mix the solution well to ensure uniform dispersion throughout the tested volume.

  • Circulation Time Allow the tracer to circulate long enough to reach potential leak areas or connections to be checked.

  • UV Inspection Use a 365 nm UV lamp from FLUOTECHNIK to reveal fluorescence and visually identify flow or infiltration areas.

  • Cleaning After Test After inspection, rinse thoroughly or use Fluotechnik Brillant Remover to remove fluorescent residues.

  • Safety Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and wear appropriate protection if necessary (UV glasses, gloves).

  • Absorbent Surfaces: Important Precaution This tracer is not recommended for direct dispersion on large absorbent surfaces such as porous façades, natural stone, or certain coatings. On these types of surfaces, there is a if the product dries.

  • In these cases, it is preferable to use a colorless tracer from the UV MAX range, specially designed for these applications without the risk of stains.
