UV DYE FOR AC, OIL, AND COOLANT LEAKS LeakFinder® Universal AC Dye (LF1001) works with all automotive air conditioning systems containing R-134a, R-1234yf, or other widely used refrigerants, and will not affect system lubricant properties or change how the equipment works. System-specific dyes may be used with oil-based fluids as well. For example, LeakFinder® Oil-Based…
DetailsTraveling Safely and Minimizing Coronavirus In Your Car Fresh air and proper ventilation lower the risk of contracting coronavirus. Even in cramped quarters, airflow keeps the buildup of aerosolized virus down. The next time you’re driving, crack your windows down a few inches and run the HVAC system. Constantly introducing fresh air lowers the concentration…
DetailsMobile HVAC UV Leak Detection During COVID UV leak detection is used to find leaks in mobile HVAC systems during the COVID pandemic. Recently, the NYPD authorized the use of a car’s heating system to sanitize emergency vehicles. Hot coolant is used to heat the interior of your car. If there’s a coolant leak, the…
DetailsUV DYE PINPOINTS SMALL AC CAR LEAKS UV dye is the perfect tool for visually detecting small AC car leaks. Whereas other leak detection tools can provide unreliable results, UV dye permeates 100% throughout the entire AC system and exits at all leak sites. This enables anyone to visually find leaks fast and accurately. Either…
DetailsA heatwave that has gripped the country for days will get worse over the coming weeks – and A/C systems need to meet the challenge. Continuous heat and humidity have been so intense that it has led to roads buckling across the country.
DetailsThe automotive industry is changing fast – and technicians need UV dyes for electric and hybrid vehicles. In 2017, General Motors announced that it is working toward an all-electric, zero-emissions future. By 2023, GM plans on having at least 18 models EV vehicles.
DetailsThe automotive industry is currently investigating ways to fight viruses, including using ultraviolet light to sanitize car interiors, foggers to spray disinfectants, upgrading air filtration systems, and employing antimicrobial materials. A handheld tool, such as The DeGERM-inatorTM (UV-5D) can inactivate 90% of most microorganisms in 6-8 seconds by sanitizing areas used in homes and offices, mobile devices, and in automobiles.
DetailsModern, high-tech emergency vehicles use ultra-efficient R-1234yf refrigerant to keep personnel and civilians cool, safe, and comfortable. These A/C systems have a much smaller refrigerant charge and require a concentrated, OEM-grade UV dye. Even the smallest leaks can reduce cooling capacity.
DetailsWith recent public health concerns having risen due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Spectronics Corporation has strengthened its manufacturing of UV-C Germicidal products to stop airborne infections from causing further disruption to the public and the economy.
DetailsUV dye can extend the service life of vehicles. By finding leaks early, expensive repairs can be avoided. As vehicles age, leaks are much more likely to occur. In the United States, the average age and the total number of older cars on the road today have been steadily increasing.
