Permanent Identification Fluid

Dykem 81491 Opaque Staining Fluid Red 8 oz is a permanent marking fluid supplied in an 8 fl oz brush-cap bottle. It creates durable identification on light and dark tinted metals, finished goods, assemblies, tools and work in progress. The opaque red liquid dries fast and resists chipping, flaking, scaling and cracking. It serves machine shops and maintenance teams needing long-lasting component traceability.

Sustained Marking Durability

Once applied, the stain withstands handling and environmental exposure without degrading. The formulation resists chipping, flaking and scaling so marks stay legible on inventory and assemblies over time. It also resists cracking, maintaining adhesion through thermal cycles and mechanical vibration. Fast drying reduces downtime between marking and returning parts to service.

Flash Point 24 Degrees F

The fluid has a flash point of 24 Degrees F, classifying it as highly flammable. This single safety parameter dictates storage, handling and ventilation requirements in the workshop. Users must keep containers away from ignition sources and follow local fire codes for flammable liquids. Buyers who cannot meet low-flash-point storage rules should choose a different marking method.

Questions about this item

Does the fluid release strong fumes during all-day use in the workshop?

The flash point is 24 degrees Fahrenheit, indicating highly flammable vapours; use only with adequate ventilation and keep away from ignition sources.

What surface preparation or tools are needed before applying this staining fluid?

The fluid works on light and dark metals without primer; the built-in brush cap allows direct application to clean, dry parts.

Will the red stain remain legible on older steel fixtures that already show wear?

The opaque formula resists chipping, flaking, scaling and cracking, so markings stay visible on aged or previously used components.
