Primalec Glo-Leak UV Leak Tracer Fluid, 250ml (GL1234A)

Description

Genuine Primalec · Part no. GL1234A

Primalec Glo-Leak is a 250ml bottle of concentrated UV leak-tracer dye for car air conditioning, compatible with R1234yf, R134a and R456a systems. At 3ml to 5ml per system the bottle gives at least 50 doses through its built-in dispenser, and it shows up under UV lamps at 365nm, 400nm or UV-plus-blue.

Good to know

• How does UV leak tracing work? The dye travels round the system with the oil and refrigerant; once the A/C has run, a UV lamp makes it glow brightly at the leak, usually viewed through yellow glasses.
• How much should I add? 3ml to 5ml per system is enough; more dye doesn't find leaks any faster, so measure it with the dispenser rather than guessing.
• Which UV lamp do I need? A good lamp at 365nm or 400nm, or a UV-plus-blue lamp, makes it glow clearly; low-powered torches make small leaks hard to see.
• Might the system already have dye? Some A/C systems already contain dye from the factory or an earlier service, so check with a UV lamp before adding more.

Which one?

For dye already mixed with POE oil, Cooling Edge E-POE 100 (CE91067BAG); to seal micro leaks on R1234yf once found, Elke HFO1234yf Leak Sealer (41-0002B).
