Leak detection paint (acids and bases)
Our Indicote® leak indication paint is a 100% acrylic golden yellow paint that instantly changes color upon contact with liquids or vapors for immediate visual indication of leaks that are often too small to trigger an indication with conventional detection devices.
Indicote® has an operating temperature of 1.6°C to 104.4°C. Indicote® turns red when exposed to acids below pH 4 and turns blue when exposed to bases above pH 8.
Indicote leak detection paint represents an economic saving in the industrial sector by allowing the early detection of leaks of basic reagents and acids, being able to act quickly in their repair and thus favoring both occupational safety and savings.

“Prior to coating the equipment with Indicote paint, it will be necessary to apply a coat of Indiprim primer paint. This will achieve maximum effectiveness and adhesion of Indicote to the installation.”
