Product Information
Full details
This Aerosol Solutions Leak Detector Spray is for anyone working with gas or air pressure systems who needs to quickly and safely identify leaks. Its key benefit is the rapid, non-flammable, non-toxic formulation that pinpoints even the smallest leaks, preventing potential hazards and costly damage. A minor caveat is that it is designed for non-flammable gas and air pressure systems only. Key features include instant leak tracing, a non-caustic and solvent-free formula, and an included rust inhibitor.

FAQs
Is this product safe for all types of gas lines?
This product is designed for non-flammable gas and air pressure systems only. It is crucial to confirm the type of gas before use.
Can I use this on flammable gases?
No, this formulation is specifically designed for non-flammable gases and air pressure. Using it on flammable gases is not recommended and may be hazardous.
How long does the rust inhibitor last?
The rust inhibitor provides protection upon application. For long-term protection, regular application or other preventative measures may be necessary depending on environmental conditions.
What is the shelf life of the spray?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the product typically maintains its efficacy for several years. Refer to the can for any specific manufacturing or expiry dates.
Can I use this spray on car tires?
While car tires use air pressure, this product is primarily intended for gas fittings and pipework. It is generally not recommended for automotive tire applications.
Does the spray leave any residue?
The formulation is designed to be free of solvents and is non-caustic, minimizing residue. However, it is good practice to wipe down the tested area after use if cleanliness is critical.
Troubleshooting
No bubbles appear, but a leak is suspected.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Re-shake the can and spray a more generous coating. Check that the system is under adequate pressure. Allow a few minutes for very slow leaks to manifest.
Foaming or excessive bubbles unrelated to a leak.
Ensure the surface is free from soap residue or other contaminants. The product itself should not cause excessive foaming; this may indicate an external factor.
Spray nozzle is blocked.
Try clearing the nozzle with a fine pin or needle. If persistent, use a new can.
