Magnaflux SKL-SP2 Spotcheck Solvent Removable Penetrant - 16 oz. Can

This post emulsifiable/solvent removable red color contrast penetrant exhibits outstanding penetrating characteristics, providing maximum reliability in locating surface-open flaws and discontinuities for a variety of applications, such as welds, forgings, pressure vessels, castings, general metal work, leak testing and power plant construction. SKL-SP2 can be used over the entire spectrum of industrial applications, where a visible penetrant inspection system meets the requirements for surface-open flaw detection. SKL-SP2 has also been successfully used on non-porous ceramics and similar materials. PLEASE NOTE: SKL-SP2 is not recommended for the inspection of plastic materials, as it may stain, soften or even dissolve the base material under test.

Penetration/Dwell Time:

The generally accepted minimum penetration time is 10 minutes, although specific process specifications may require longer penetration time.

Temperature:

SKL-SP2 should be used at temperatures between 40º F – 125º F. Lower temperatures thicken the penetrant and longer penetration times are necessary. High temperatures should be avoided since this can lead to the breakdown of the dye resulting in color fade.

Penetrant Removal:

SKL-SP2 excess surface penetrant can be removed by either SKC-S (Method C) or ZE-4B (Method B) or ZR-10B (Method D).

Recommended Developers:

A developer is used to maximize the sensitivity and to provide a white contrasting background against which the red indications can be readily seen. Two types of developer can be used.
