Nitto’s ammonia detection tape allows for the visual detection of ammonia gas by turning from white to blue when in contact with ammonia gas.
Nitto’s detection tapes are designed to improve safety by finding gas leaks before they become a hazard. Nitto’s products are easy to use and easy to read, so you can always be ready for unexpected leaks.
Features:
- See the leak: tape quickly changes colour from white to blue (depending on the percentage of ammonia).
- Safety: provides an additional safety net for detecting gas leaks and improves detection time by making it easier to find intermittent leaks.
- Long-lasting change: tape will not immediately return to its original colour, even when the flow of ammonia gas has stopped.
- Easy to use: applies as easily as regular pressure sensitive adhesive tapes.
- Environmentally resistant: can be used in most indoor and outdoor environments.
Application:
- Ammonia detection tape can be easily applied to or wrapped around pipes, flanges, fittings, valves, access panels and more to immediately identify an ammonia leak location.
- The long-lasting color-change identifies the leak location even if the NH3 line is shutoff.
- Applications include – and are not limited to – ammonia refrigerators, ice rinks, fertilizer plants, power and chemical plants, transportation markets, ammonia producers, storage tanks, compressors, new energy markets and more.
The surface should be clean, free of oil, moisture and dirt before applying. For substrate cleaning, isopropyl alcohol cleaner may be used but the surface must be completely dry before tape application. Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes may require pressure by roller, hand or press when applying. Not doing so may affect the general properties and appearance. Please inspect your surface prior to application; this tape may not adhere well to extremely uneven or distorted surfaces. Please remember to allow adequate time for full adhesive strength.
