A/C Leak Detection Dye 1 Oz Green Tint

Supercool 9497 is a fluorescent dye formulated for locating refrigerant leaks in automotive air-conditioning systems. The 1 oz bottle contains a green-tinted clear liquid compatible with R134a, R12 and R22 refrigerants. It meets SAE J-2297 standards for leak detection additives.

Verify refrigerant type

Confirm the vehicle uses R134a, R12 or R22 refrigerant as listed in the specifications. Check that the service ports accept standard dye-injection tools. Ensure the system is free of sealants or additives that could react with the dye. Review the boiling point above 570 F and flash point above 430 F against shop safety limits.

Injects into charged systems without evacuation

The dye circulates with refrigerant oil and escapes through leaks where it fluoresces under UV light. No separate carrier fluid is required. The plastic bottle allows direct injection through a low-side service port. It frees technicians from nitrogen pressurisation or soap-bubble checks on sealed components.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need any extra tools to use the Supercool 9497 dye?

The box contains a 1 oz plastic bottle of green-tinted clear liquid A/C leak detection dye. You will need a compatible UV leak detection lamp and an injection tool for your A/C system, which are sold separately.

How do I choose the right version of this dye for my vehicle's refrigerant?

This single 1 oz formulation meets SAE J-2297 standards and is compatible with R134a, R12 and R22 refrigerants, so no other version is required for those systems.

What does the flash point above 430 F mean when the dye is inside a running A/C system?

A flash point greater than 430 F and boiling point above 570 F indicate the dye remains stable and non-flammable under normal A/C operating temperatures and pressures.
