Type 1 is a neutral solutions formulated for leak-testing lines, cylinders and tanks carrying pure oxygen, but also used widely for testing fuel tanks, pneumatic systems - in fact any product or system that can be leak-tested with air or gas pressure.

Type 1 contains no oil, grease or any other ingredient that could combine with pure oxygen to form either a flammable or explosive mixture. Thoroughly tested and approved by both governmental and commercial laboratories. Apply to connection or surface suspected of leaking and watch for bubble clusters. Fine leaks form white foam which builds up for ten minutes or more, making detection sure and simple. Large leaks form clusters of large bubbles immediately on application.
