Red Back Drain Dye 1kg – Green

Red Back drain dye 1kg enables plumbers to quickly locate leaks, confirm connections and flow paths onsite. Non-toxic and biodegradable, the green dye is most commonly used for stormwater applications. Its bright fluorescent colour stands out against murky, brown water, making the flow easier to follow. As it glows under UV light, it’s easier to spot in dark pits and inspection points, with a suitable UV light. For indoor applications, we recommend the Red Back red drain dye.

As a general rule, 20 grams of dye will provide a strong visual in 200 litre of water. 1kg of dye will provide a strong visual in 10,000 litres of water.

We do not recommend use on porous surfaces. Always use product per the instructions and MSDS.
