OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Low-Temperature Leak Detection

The Cantesco 300-5G is a bulk 5-gallon (approx. 20 Liters) pail of Formula 300, a premium leak detection compound designed specifically for challenging industrial environments. Unlike standard soap solutions that can freeze or fail to produce visible indicators in cold weather, Formula 300 is engineered to perform reliably in temperatures as low as -25°F (-31°C). This makes it an essential consumable for MRO operations, pipeline maintenance, and HVAC technicians working in northern climates or unheated facilities.

This compound utilizes a high-viscosity formulation that clings to vertical surfaces and overhead piping, ensuring that the solution remains at the potential leak site long enough to generate a distinct bubble cluster. It is formulated to be compatible with a wide range of gases, including oxygen, air, natural gas, propane, and refrigerants, making it a versatile stock item for diverse facility needs. The solution meets the rigorous requirements of MIL-PRF-25567E, ensuring it is non-corrosive and safe for use on sensitive alloys and plastic piping systems.

For facility managers and procurement specialists, the 5-gallon pail configuration provides an economical solution for refilling smaller spray bottles or dauber jars used by field technicians. It reduces plastic waste associated with single-use containers and ensures a consistent supply of NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) media is available for safety inspections and maintenance routines.

FAQ

Cantesco Formula 300 is designed for low-temperature applications and remains effective down to -25°F (-31°C).

Yes, Cantesco 300 is oxygen compatible and safe for use on oxygen regulators and piping systems.

The 5-gallon pail is intended as a bulk refill. You should transfer the liquid into smaller spray bottles, dauber jars, or other application devices for daily use.

The compound is water-soluble and biodegradable. Any residue can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth or rinsed with water.

Yes, Formula 300 is formulated to be compatible with most plastics and metals, preventing stress cracking or corrosion.

Cantesco 300 is typically blue in color to distinguish it as the low-temperature formula.

No, Cantesco 300 is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it safe for user handling and disposal.

Yes, the high viscosity of the fluid allows it to form long-lasting bubble clusters even at very low leak rates (micro-leaks).
