Result of stability testing of Fluoro-Dye APD P/N #800

"Figure 1 is a photograph of the tubes under normal fluorescent light, and figure 2 is a photograph of the tubes under ultra-violet light. Table 1 is a summary of the stability test results for Fluoro-Dye APD P/N #800. As shown in the figures and noted in the table, the aged samples were still fluorescent. Although there was a small increase in the Tan upon aging indicative of some lubricant decomposition, these samples with the [Fluoro] dye present are much more stable than the control samples (with no dye). There was no significant particulate formation or lubricant color change and the increases in TAN were much smaller than the increases in the control samples."
