Rhodamine B

Rhodamine B is a high-strength fluorescent dye powder used for water tracing, flow direction testing, leak detection and laboratory dye applications. Supplied as a clean green powder, it produces an intense pink fluorescent colour in water and can be detected visually or with fluorometers at very low concentrations.

Key Features:

1. 95% Rhodamine B content
2. Strong fluorescent pink dye in water
3. Suitable for water flow tracing
4. Detectable with fluorometers
5. Supplied in 10g, 25g or 50g alubags, depending on stock

Uses:

1. Water flow direction testing
2. Leak detection in drainage systems
3. Tracer dye for ponds, tanks and waterways
4. Laboratory dye and indicator applications
5. Dye laser and fluorescence testing

5 Popular Uses & How to Use:

1. Water Flow Tracing
   Dissolve a small measured amount of Rhodamine B in clean water first. Add gradually to the water system being tested. A common low-level guide is 1kg per 1,000,000 litres of water, equal to 1ppm. Observe the pink colour movement or detect with a fluorometer.
2. Drain and Pipe Leak Detection
   Mix a small quantity, such as 1g to 5g, into 1 litre of water. Pour into the drain, pipe or inspection point. Check outlets, joints or suspected leak areas for pink colour. Wear gloves and avoid skin or eye contact.
3. Pond or Tank Circulation Testing
   Pre-dissolve the dye in a container of water. Add the solution near pumps, inlets or suspected flow areas. Monitor how the colour spreads to assess circulation. Use only low concentrations and avoid unnecessary overdosing.
4. Laboratory Fluorescence Demonstrations
   Prepare a diluted solution using milligram quantities in water or suitable solvent. Use under appropriate lab conditions with protective eyewear and gloves. Observe fluorescence with suitable lighting or fluorometer equipment.
5. Dye Laser and Research Use
   Prepare only according to your laboratory protocol. Weigh the required amount using accurate scales. Dissolve in the correct solvent and concentration for your equipment. Use in controlled laboratory environments only.

Safety Information:
Use protective gloves, eye protection and suitable clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Do not ingest. Keep away from children and animals. Dispose of product and solutions according to local regulations.

❓ FAQ
