MAGNAFLUX SPOTCHECK SKL-SP2 (Solvent removable RED Penetrant ) -400 ml

Description

MAGNAFLUX SPOTCHECK SKL-SP2 (Solvent removable RED Penetrant ) -400 ml

Spotcheck SKL-SP1 is a solvent removable (or post emulsifiable) red color contrast penetrant. SKL-SP1 exhibits outstanding penetrating characteristics, which provide for maximum reliability in locating surface-open flaws and discontinuities. SKL-SP1 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-SP1 has also been successfully used on non-porous ceramics and similar materials.

Note:SKL-SP1 is not recommended for the inspection of plastic materials, as it may stain, soften or even dissolve the base material under test.

General Description

Spotcheck SKL-SP2 is a solvent removable (or post emulsifiable) red colour contrast penetrant. SKL-SP2 exhibits outstanding penetrating characteristics which provide for maximum reliability in locating surface-open flaws and discontinuities. It can be used over the entire spectrum of industrial applications, where a visible penetrant inspection system meets the requirements for surface-open flaw detection. Typical applications include castings, forgings, leak testing, welds and general metal work. SKL-SP2 has also been successfully used on non-porous ceramics and similar materials. However it is not recommended for the inspection of plastic materials, as it may stain, soften or even dissolve the base material under test.

Composition

SKL-SP2 is composed of a blend of petroleum distillates, plasticiser and an oil soluble organic red dye.

Coverage:

1 aerosol can (16 ounce by volume) covers about 65 square feet SKL-SP1 may be applied by: aerosol, dipping, flowing, brushing, conventional or electrostatic spray.

Penetration/Dwell Time:

The generally accepted minimum penetration time is 2 to 5 minutes. 10 minutes being adequate for most situations, although specific process specifications may require longer penetration time.

Temperature:

SKL-SP1 should be used at temperatures between 40°F – 125°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-SP1 excess surface penetrant can be removed by either SKC-S Solvent Cleaner/Remover or ZR-10B General Purpose Hydrophilic Remover.

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.

·  SKD-S2 and ZP-9F Solvent Developers are quick drying materials, which may be applied by spraying. The component under test must be dry before developer application.

·  ZP-5B Water Suspendible Developer is a developer which may be applied by dipping or spraying; after application the component must be dried before inspection.

Advantages

• Excellent Colour Contrast
• Detects a wide range of surface defects
• Cost effective & easy to use
