Description

Developed for large surface areas and rough surfaces where excess penetrant is difficult to remove with a solvent removable cleaner or emulsifier, SKL-WP2 is a water-removeable dye penetrant for Type 2 penetrant testing in visible white light.

This bright red penetrant is designed to wash off parts with ease, leaving less background for clearer indications – even on rough surfaces. The quick rinsing reduces water usage in the inspection process for a reliable NDT process with less cost per part.

This color-contrast penetrant meets all NDT specifics for dye penetrant testing and can be used on a wide variety of metals, including non-ferrous and ferrous. It is normally used on welds, forgings, pressure vessels, castings and general metal work, and it lends itself to a production environment where many parts are inspected daily.

SKL-WP2 is listed on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List.

BENEFITS
• Dependable and convenient to use
• Easy to carry and use in the field with the convenient aerosol cans which are carefully designed for consistent, even coverage and maximum test area coverage
• Use in all conditions without the need for darkness or UV lights
• Quickly and completely covers the entire test surface due to high surface wetting

Wide application versatility
• Inspect a wide range of components without fear of corrosion or specification non-conformance
• Meets AMS 2644 and is NDT-approved for professional industrial applications
• Reduced processing cost per part due to excellent washability, which is especially useful for large parts and cast components

Maximum indication detection
• Produces strong, vibrant indications thanks to the bright, vibrant red color, especially when used with SKD-S2 solvent-based developer

Maximize operator comfort and safety
• Promotes better inspection quality by providing the operator with a more comfortable work environment
• Reduces discomfort from strong odors
• Exceeds all EHS requirements, does not contain NPEs or phthalates

Direction to Use

Ensure test part is clean and dry, and free from oil, grease and other contaminants. Apply penetrant by immersion dip, brush, flow on, conventional or electrostatic spray. Cover the test area completely. Allow penetration time. Minimum penetration time is 2 to 5 minutes, with 10 minutes being adequate for most situations. Lower temperatures thicken the penetrant and require longer penetration times. Spray the component with clean water at 10°C to 40°C, or wipe with a lint-free cloth dampened with our SKC-S cleaner. Once clean, the component should be dried before a developer is applied. Apply a thin layer of developer* to the surface and allow a minimum of 10 minutes development time before inspecting the component under white light. Indications will appear dark red against the white developer background. Two types of developer can be used: Solvent-based: quick-drying materials which are applied by spraying. The component under test must be dry before developer is applied. Water-based (aqueous): can be applied by dipping or spraying. To maximise penetrant sensitivity, parts should only be exposed to aqueous developers for short periods of time. The component must be dried before inspection. Developer residue can be removed either by wiping with a cloth or by a water and detergent wash. Penetrant residues can be removed by vapour degreasing or solvent soak.
