Compared to Bright Dyes FLT Yellow/Green or FWT Red products, Industrial Red is significantly less resistant to absorption on inorganic and organic suspended matter. Thereby limiting its suitability in many applications, particularly where fluorometric detection is needed. This dye has greater resistance to sunlight than FLT Yellow/Green and is equivalent to FWT Red. Industrial Red products should not be used: 1) In drinking water systems, near drinking water intakes or where downstream impingement on a drinking water system might occur, or 2) Where any aquatic ecosystem might be chronically exposed to detectable amounts of the dye. The use and suitability of these products should be evaluated by a qualified hydrologist or other industry professional.
