DetecTape Hydrogen Sensing Tape - Element One

Element One

DetecTape® Visual Hydrogen Leak Detector is a color changing self-fusing silicone wrap designed to detect hydrogen gas leaks in fuel cell, transmission, storage and generation facilities. When in contact with concentrated hydrogen gas, the tape quickly changes from light gray to dark black in the event of a leak due to vibration or seal failure.

DetecTape is a simple and effective way to detect hydrogen leaks at their source. Simply apply to where leaks are most likely to occur and any leak will trigger a visual indication for visual inspection.

  • Detect leaks at their source
  • Simple to use
  • Low-cost visual detection
  • "Fail-safe hydrogen detection"

Innovation

Introducing DetecTape by Element One, a breakthrough in non-invasive hydrogen leak detection and indication for industrial applications. DetecTape’s specialized pigment turns from grey to black in seconds upon contact with hydrogen, rapidly alerting users to potential leaks—even those too small for traditional methods to detect. The silicone tape is hydrogen-permeable, allowing hydrogen gas to pass through so technicians can still use sniffers and other detection methods. DetecTape can be applied around fittings, flanges, and joints without residue, providing a safe and efficient alternative to soapy water tests.
