Sar-Gel Pink Water Finding Paste
Sar-Gel Pink Water Finding Paste is a color-changing detection paste used to identify the presence of separated water in fuel storage tanks, machinery, and equipment. When the paste contacts water, it changes color, giving you a quick and reliable visual indicator.
Sar-Gel Pink is best suited for crude markets, and some refined fuel locations prefer the Pink version as well. The color contrast makes water detection clear and dependable in these settings, which is why operators handling crude oil and select refined fuels often choose Pink over other options.
Sar-Gel Pink Water Finding Paste detects water in various applications, including fuel storage tanks, machinery, and equipment. It is applied to a gauge stick or probe, then lowered into a tank; any color change reveals the water level, making separated water easy to spot.
Key features include:
- Detects water in various applications
- Supplied in one-ounce tubes (twelve tubes per box)
- Changes color upon contact with water
- Developed in the early 1980s for use in refineries
