Series T-800 & T-900 Water Based Formulas BLUE
&YELLOW
Highly Concentrated - Totally Invisible
NOT FOR HAND MARKING
These are Aqueous Tracers AKA Dispersions that are
usually used to mark paper. The dispersions are
suspended in water and suitable for use in water
based inks & coatings. Also popular in creating
visually brilliant special effects when standard
long wave black light is applied. Tracer T-800-900
series are invisible in daylight and fluoresces
blue or yellow under black light. Normal color is
milky white. We suggest that the Tracer be diluted
by using one part of tracer to ten parts of clean
water. The mixture is usually applied to the paper
using an automatic spray device, but can be
applied by hand using a paintbrush or an even
smaller marking tool. It can also be loaded into a
shipping room marker (a smaller refillable felt
tip marker). If white paper is being marked, the
10 to 1 dilution may be too concentrated and the
tracer will leave a visible mark. Dilute further
until no visible residue can be seen. The mark is
then observed using a black light (a filtered long
wave ultraviolet light). The mark can best be seen
under subdued ambient lighting conditions - not in
bright sunlight. After experience with a
particular marking application, the dilution ratio
can be often increased. We have some applications
where a ratio of 25 to one can be used.

Invisible marking means the application of
fluorescent materials that cannot be easily seen
in normal daylight, but become visible when
exposed to a beam of long wave ultraviolet light
that is sufficiency intense to cause visible
fluorescence to appear on the marked
article. Observations and automatic scanning work
best with subdued visible ambient lighting. Users
select invisible marking because they do not want
the mark to be seen for appearance reasons or they
do not wish knowledge about the marking to be
easily discernible. Invisible marking is often
used for product ownership or source
identification. It can also be used to guide
manual operations as in garment fabrication using
black light to guide cutting and sewing. Invisible
marking is often used where marks need to be
placed on multicolored surfaces that make
automated scanning difficult because light from
the background prevents a clear signal from being
received by the scanner. The purpose of scanning
is for automation. The scanner verifies that an
invisible mark is either absent or present and
causes some action to be taken based on the
signal. The action taken obviously depends on the
application, but could take the form of sending a
product on a selected path in a conveyor system or
to trigger a subsequent processing operation.
Quality Control
FLUORESCENT TRACERS USED IN INDUSTRIAL COATINGS:
In any coating operation where the coating film is
invisible to the naked eye, uniformity of the film
or conversely, the lack of uniformity, can be more
easily detected by adding fluorescent tracers to
the coating medium and then inspecting the
coatings under black light. Fluorescent tracer
products, using this general method to detect
unwanted residues, have found application in the
removal of solder flux containing a fluorescent
tracer from circuit boards after soldering and
cleaning. Another fluorescent tracer is often
added to the final conformal coating for a further
inspection under black light to assure thorough
and even coverage. This general approach to
coating inspection can be applied to many quality
control procedures involving electrical devices
such as potentiometers and transformers. A host of
other uses are found in almost any field involving
coatings and adhesives to verify either the
uniform presence of a material or to detect
absence of the material. Automatic scanning
devices utilizing fluorescent tracers can be
valuable in establishing automated procedures and
improving record keeping capabilities in quality
control inspection.
