All of the above dyes are also available in 55 gal (208 L) drums. NOTE: The suffix “0016” denotes a 16 oz (473 ml) bottle The suffix “0032” denotes a 32 oz (946 ml) bottle The suffix “0100” denotes a 1 gallon (3.8 L) pail The suffix “0500” denotes a 5 gallon (19 L) pail The dilution ratios of Tracerline® fluorescent dyes to the host fluids shown above are only guidelines. These ratios can be increased or decreased depending on the fluorescent response required and the ambient lighting conditions. A simple way to check for proper fluorescence is to shine the UV or blue light lamp on the fluid reservoir of a system and check for a bright fluorescent response.
