FAQs of PTSA Powder:
Q: How is PTSA Powder used for leak detection or water tracing?
A: PTSA Powder is added to the water system or solution needing examination. Its strong fluorescence under UV light allows rapid detection and tracing of leaks, flow paths, or system integrity by monitoring the emitted glow in areas of interest.
Q: What benefits does PTSA Powder offer over other tracer dyes?
A: PTSA Powder provides high fluorescence intensity, rapid solubility in water, non-toxicity, and stability, making it an effective and eco-friendly tracer. Its reliable performance at recommended concentrations ensures safety for users and the environment while delivering precise results.
Q: When should PTSA Powder be stored and how long is its shelf life?
A: PTSA Powder should be stored in tightly sealed containers, in a cool and dry place, protected from direct light. It maintains optimal attributes for up to 24 months if conditions are properly managed.
Q: Where can PTSA Powder be applied besides water tracing?
A: Beyond water tracing and leak detection, PTSA Powder is suitable for use as a fluorescent indicator in research, industrial dyeing processes, and as a marker in environmental monitoring projects due to its stable and visible performance.
Q: What is the recommended process for using PTSA Powder in a solution?
A: Simply add the required quantity of PTSA Powder to your system or solution, mix well, and then detect fluorescence using a UV light source. The powder dissolves readily and integrates without inhibiting most chemical processes.
Q: Is PTSA Powder compatible with water-treatment chemicals?
A: Yes, PTSA Powder demonstrates high compatibility with the majority of water-treatment chemicals. This ensures it does not interfere with ongoing treatments or chemical reactions during application.
Q: What are the key physical and chemical properties of PTSA Powder?
A: PTSA Powder is a fine, yellow-green crystalline, anionic powder with a molecular weight of 610.46 g/mol and pKa of 7.3. It is freely soluble in water, odorless, highly fluorescent, non-poisonous, and decomposes above 300C.
