"I believe that Ammonia Detection Tape could be beneficial at any plant and company that has Anhydrous Ammonia as a refrigerant at their facility. This product has the potential of saving a plant's refrigerant but cutting down the vital time it takes for the operators to locate a leak."

"It works as it says.  We put it on a valve that we suspected to leak but it was one of those that came and went. The tape helped confirm it was leaking as every time we went in with the meters and sulfur sticks it had dissipated.  This tape will definitely help with situations like that."

"It's a great product and a great 1st line of defense that aids in identifying leaks in sealed ammonia systems. While I wouldn't replace any of my leak detection methods with this product it definitely has a place in my arsenal!"

"We were able to place it near a very small leak and it appears to work well as you promised. I can certainly see value in installing this at the most likely leak locations for proactive visual indication."

"I have applied the tape for the multiple locations and found it is great. The leak/seep is so tiny only your tape can detect it."
Product Details

Nitto's ammonia detection tape allows for the visual detection of ammonia leaks by providing long-lasting color change when in contact with ammonia gas.

See the Leak: Tape quickly changes color, from white to blue (depending on the percentage of ammonia).
Safety: Provides an additional safety net for detecting gas leaks and improves detection time by making it easier to find intermittent leaks.
Long-Lasting Change: Tape will not immediately return to its original color even when the flow of ammonia gas has stopped.
Easy to Use: Applies as easily as regular pressure sensitive adhesive tapes.
Environmentally Resistant: Can be used in most indoor and outdoor environments
