Powerful UV detection. Responsible environmental impact.
Our biodegradable uv dye is formulated to perform with the same fluorescent strength you expect, while breaking down faster in the environment.
ECO-GLO™ sets a new industry standard in leak detection. It’s the first oil dye on the market that’s readily biodegradable. Designed for closed-loop, oil-based fluid systems, ECO-GLO™ glows vivid green under UV light and delivers high performance without compromising equipment integrity. Perfect for forestry, agriculture, mining, marine, and more.
Exceeds OECD 301B threshold (>60% in 28 days)
Designed for synthetic and petroleum-based systems
Formulated to support Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants
High-visibility under UV and violet leak inspection lamps
Uniform formulation, filtered to 2 microns
No phase separation or crystallization in extreme storage conditions
Stricter regulations and growing sustainability goals are reshaping how industries approach leak detection. Traditional fluorescent dyes have long been trusted for their visibility and reliability, but when biodegradability becomes a priority, a new solution is needed.
This next-generation, oil-soluble dye is engineered for closed-loop systems and meets the OECD 301B standard for readily biodegradable materials, making it the first of its kind in the oil-based hydraulics space.
Our products are engineered to perform across demanding environments. From agriculture to offshore drilling, our biodegradable UV dye provides a reliable, high-visibility leak detection when paired with a UV or violet lamp that keeps equipment running efficiently and safely.
Wondering how to use ECO-GLO™ on the job? We’ve answered common questions about compatibility, application, and performance to make field use simple and reliable.
Yes. ECO-GLO™ meets the OECD 301B standard for readily biodegradability, which means it breaks down rapidly under environmental conditions. Making it ideal for use in sensitive areas like soil, water, or forested land.
Absolutely. It’s compatible with most hydraulic oils, lubricants, and system components, including seals and elastomers. It’s also filterable to 2 microns, so it won’t clog or interfere with system operation.
A small amount goes a long way. Typical usage is around 1 ounce per 4 gallons of fluid, depending on system size and visibility needs. Your application may vary slightly, and it is recommended to refer to the instructions or ask your rep for help determining the right dose.
ECO-GLO™ delivers the same bright green fluorescence under UV light as our conventional dyes—making leaks easy to detect, even in hard-to-reach places. You get environmental benefits without sacrificing visibility.
If you’re operating in eco-sensitive environments or need to meet regulatory or EAL compliance, ECO-GLO™ is your best option. It helps reduce environmental risk while maintaining high leak detection performance.
Yes. ECO-GLO™ was specifically formulated to be EAL-compatible, making it a great fit for customers using EALs in marine, forestry, or other regulated applications.
Available in multiple sizes, ECO-GLO™ adapts to your operation’s scale, delivering consistent, high-visibility leak detection across applications large and small.
