Hydrogen Detection Tape Dx-2106h

Nitto's hydrogen detection tape allows for the visual detection of hydrogen gas leaks by permanently changing color when in contact with hydrogen gas. It acts as an early warning system for hydrogen leaks.

This product is intended for use as a localized hydrogen gas indicator, and should be used as part of a comprehensive gas detection system. DX-2106H will not prevent H2 leaks. Customers should not rely solely on this product to monitor the safety of a facility where flammable or hazardous gases are present.

Surface should be clean, free of oil, moisture and dirt before applying. Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes may require pressure by roller, hand or press when applying. Not doing so may affect the general properties and appearance. Please inspect your surface prior to application; this tape may not adhere well to extremely uneven or distorted surfaces. Please remember to allow adequate time for full adhesive strength.

Nitto Hydrogen Detection Tape allows for the visual detection of hydrogen gas leaks by permanently changing color when in contact with hydrogen gas.

See the leak: Tape quickly changes color, 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 color once exposed to hydrogen gas.
Environmentally Resistant: Can be used in most indoor or outdoor environments.
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 color-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.Temperature vs. Reactivity a c Tape was exposed to 100% H2 (6mL/min) at -40a , -20a , and room temperature to confirm colorchange reaction. a c Result: Color-change to black was observed in 15min at -20a , in 60min at -40a and in 5min at room temperature. i Reactivity with H2, at higher temperature, higher flow rate, and/or higher concentration will result in more immediate color-change
Temperature vs. Reactivity
a c Tape was exposed to 100% H2 (6mL/min) at -40a , -20a , and room temperature to confirm colorchange reaction.
a c Result: Color-change to black was observed in 15min at -20a , in 60min at -40a and in 5min at room temperature.
i Reactivity with H2, at higher temperature, higher flow rate, and/or higher concentration will result in more immediate color-change

a c Tape visually changes color, 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).
a c Provides an additional safety net for detecting gas leaks and improves detection time by making it easier to find intermittent leaks.
a c Is highly sensitive and can detect hydrogen leaks that contain as little as 1% H2 concentration.
a c DX-2106H will not return to its original color once exposed to hydrogen gas.
a c Easy to use; applies the same as a typical silicone /polyimide PSA.
a c Can be used in most indoor or outdoor environments.
a c Superior capability in detecting the location of the H2 leak when compared to conventional portable or stationary sensors.
