Pre-cleaning and drying

Clean part with cleaner (9PR5 or equivalent) before applying Ardrox 996PB penetrant. Apply cleaner to the part and wipe clean with cloth. Surface has to be free of grease, oil and dirt. Allow part to dry before applying penetrant.

Surface temperature should be between -10 and 50°C

Apply a thin even film of Ardrox 996PB penetrant to cover test area. Allow penetrant 10-30 minutes penetration time before removing.

Penetrant removal 

Remove excess surface penetrant with clean cloths, pre-moistened with cleaner (eg. 9PR5). Alternatively removal can be effected by rinsing with water (for application over 5°C). Do not flush surface with cleaner as sensitivity will be impaired. Repeat procedure until surface with cleaner as sensitivity will be impaired. Repeat procedure until surface penetrant has been removed.
