Description

HM-602 Properties

HM-602 is a pre-emulsified fluorescent penetrant. It is a Type 1 Method A Level 2 penetrant according to AMS 2644 and ISO 3542-2 intended for the search of surface defects. This product has very high biodegradability and is free of petroleum fractions.

Instructions of Use:

Application :

Apply HM-602 only to clean, dry surfaces by spraying, flowing, brushing or dipping. In this case, it may be better to dip parts during 1/3 of contact time and allow the penetrant to drain from the part surface back into the penetrant tank for 2/3 of contact time. Total dwell time: 5 to 30 minutes.

Removal :

Use a ambient temperature water wash at pressure between 30 and 200 kPa, hydraulic or hydro-pneumatic gun (air pressure between 0,1 and 2 bars according to applicable specification).
To avoid washing entrapped penetrant from surface flaws, do not use high water pressures and temperatures, or prolonged washing and scrubbing.
Removal is done under UV-A light to be sure there is no more fluorescent background at the end.

Drying :

Circulating warm air (60-80°C). Using pressurized air, infrared lamp or warm air pistol is strongly not recommended.

Developing :

HM-602 is self developing. Nevertheless it is recommended to use a developer as listed above.

Inspection :

It shall be done in a darkened area (visible light level less than 20 lux) and under sufficient UV-A light (minimum 1000 μW/cm2, if possible more than 1500 μW/cm2). Actinic blue possible.

Biodegradability:

According to the biodegradability test in aerobic and according to OECD 302 B criteria, HM-602 has shown capacities at inherent biodegradability.
The result is positive (biodegradability >70%) but this does not mean that the effluents of HM-602 can be released into natural environments, however an effluent discharge into water treatment plant is entirely possible: contact the entity managing the wastewater networks in your area.
