TECH IN A TUBE
Repair, Defend, Verify – Seal + Protect + UV DYE
TECH IN A TUBE acts like a good HVAC tech…in a tube: repair, defend, verify. Seal forms durable micro‑seals at leak sites to cut refrigerant loss and keep systems online. System Protect scavenges moisture and neutralizes acid to help prevent corrosion, sludge, metering‑device issues, and compressor damage. Our vivid UV DYE circulates with the refrigerant and fluoresces under UV light, making any unsealed leaks easy to pinpoint and repair correctly—so you leave fewer problems behind.
The polymer‑free, compressible formula activates only at leak sites and won’t clog TXVs, cap tubes, or other metering devices. Inject on the low side with the system running via Xpress Inject. Compatible with common refrigerants and oils include A2L and A3; not for ammonia (NH3). Intended for residential and light commercial A/C and heat pumps.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Repair + protect + trace in one step: Triple‑action Xpress Inject combines Seal with System Protect and our high‑visibility UV dye to seal micro-leaks, defend against moisture and acid, and speed leak detection.
- Fast‑acting, permanent micro‑seals: Activates only at leak sites; polymer‑free, compressible formula won’t clog TXVs, cap tubes, or metering devices.
- Built‑in UV dye for rapid diagnostics: Circulates with the refrigerant and fluoresces under UV light to help pinpoint and verify leaks—reducing troubleshooting time and callbacks.
- Protects critical components: Helps remove moisture and neutralize acids, reducing corrosion, sludge, and premature wear.
- Helps prevent compressor burnout: Lowers acid and moisture that can damage windings, degrade lubricants, and lead to electrical failure.
- Cleaner system, sustained efficiency: Reduces contaminants to support reliable performance and preserve efficiency—helping cut downtime and service costs.
- Practical leak‑size guideline: Generally effective if the system doesn’t lose its full refrigerant charge in about 48 hours or less; larger leaks typically require conventional repair.
- Broad compatibility: Works with common refrigerants and oils; not for ammonia (NH3). A2L compatible
- Wide system coverage: Available in 1.5 to 30 ton single applications for small appliances through larger residential and light commercial systems.
- Quick, no‑mess application: Low‑side, one‑step injection with a single Xpress Inject streamlines service and simplifies inventory.

Directions:
This product must be used in accordance with the following directions and by professionals only.
Always read the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete precautionary and first aid information before use.
XPRESS SEAL is designed for quick and effective leak sealing in HVACR systems. Choose the method below that best suits your equipment and job site conditions.
General Safety & Pre-Installation Checks (Applicable to All Methods)
Before beginning, ensure the system is ready and you have the correct XPRESS SEAL product for the system’s tonnage.
- Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and protective gloves, when working with refrigerants and sealants.
- Identify Ports: Clearly identify the low-side (suction) and high-side (liquid) service ports on the system.
- System Running & Mode:
- Ensure the HVACR system is powered on and running, with the compressor engaged.
- If working on a heat pump, set the system to Cooling Mode for optimal sealant distribution.
- System Charge: Verify the system has an adequate refrigerant charge. XPRESS SEAL can be injected into a fully charged or partially low system; if significantly low, you may use refrigerant to push the sealant (see Traditional Method alternative).
- Refrigerant Compatibility: Confirm the system is NOT an ammonia (NH3) system, as XPRESS SEAL is not compatible.
- XPRESS SEAL Size: Ensure you have selected the appropriate XPRESS SEAL cartridge size for the system’s tonnage (e.g., XPS-Mini, XPS-5T, XPS-60T).
- Inspect XPRESS SEAL Tube: Do not bend, cut, or deform the tube. Check to ensure small nitrogen bubble is present and free moving in the tube.
Post-Injection Best Practices (Applicable to All Methods)
After injecting XPRESS SEAL, it’s crucial to allow the product to fully circulate and activate:
- Run Time: Run the AC unit for a minimum of one (1) hour immediately after injecting XPRESS SEAL. This ensures thorough circulation of the sealant throughout the system. For larger systems or very cold conditions, allow for even longer run times (e.g., 2-4 hours).
- System Monitoring: Monitor the system’s operating pressures and temperatures. XPRESS SEAL is designed not to alter system performance or clog metering devices.
- Leak Verification: After the recommended run time, verify leak resolution using standard diagnostic methods.
- Documentation: Document the application of XPRESS SEAL in the system’s service log, including date, product size, and method used.
Important Notes for Professionals
- Refrigerant Charging Concurrent with Sealant: If the system is low on refrigerant, XPRESS SEAL can be injected concurrently with refrigerant charging. Simply connect the XPRESS Inject to the service port and push the sealant into the system using the refrigerant being added, following the appropriate method.
- No Pump Down Required: XPRESS SEAL does not require pumping down the system for injection, regardless of refrigerant type.
- Polymer-Free Formulation: XPRESS SEAL is formulated to be “polymer free” while in the tube and circulating through the system, protecting sensitive system components.
