UK Industrial Tapes

Nitto Hydrogen Detection Tape DX-2106H allows for the visual detection of hydrogen gas leaks by permanently changing colour when in contact with hydrogen gas.

Tape visually changes colour, from amber to black, in as little as 10 seconds when exposed to H2 (depending on the flow rate, temperature, time and percentage of hydrogen).
Provides an additional safety net for detecting gas leaks and improves detection time by making it easier to find intermittent leaks.
Is highly sensitive and can detect hydrogen leaks that contain as little as 1% H2 concentration.
DX-2106H will not return to its original colour once exposed to hydrogen gas.
Easy to use; applies the same as a typical silicone /polyimide PSA.
Can be used in most indoor or outdoor environments.
Superior capability in detecting the location of the H2 leak when compared to conventional portable or stationary sensors.
Less influenced by wind, position, duration, skills, etc.
Easy to check vertical and bottom faces.

Feature

See the leak: Tape quickly changes colour, from amber to black (depending on the percentage of hydrogen).
Safety: Provides an additional safety net for detecting gas leaks, and improves detection time by making it easier to find intermittent leaks.
High Sensitivity: Can detect hydrogen leaks that contain as little as 1% H₂ concentration.
Irreversible Change: DX-2106H will not return to its original colour once exposed to hydrogen gas.
Easy to Use: Applies as easily as a regular pressure sensitive adhesive tape.
Environmentally Resistant: Can be used in most indoor or outdoor environments

Application

Nitto’s hydrogen detection tape can be easily applied to, or wrapped around, pipes, flanges, fittings, valves, access panels, etc. to immediately identify an exact hydrogen leak location.
The permanent colour-change properties identifies the exact leak location even if the H₂ line is shut off.
Applications include and are not limited to power and chemical plants, transportation markets, Hydrogen co-generators, fuel stations, storage tanks, compressors, new energy markets and more.
