Magnaflux SKD-S2 Solvent Based Developer

A bright white, non-aqueous developer, SKD-S2 creates an opaque white background for high-contrast penetrant testing and quickly draws penetrant out to create stronger, clearer indications for better inspection reliability and sensitivity.

Noted for its compatibility with special alloys, such as stainless steel, aluminium, magnesium and titanium, SKD-S2 is non-halogenated, can be used with Type 1 & Type 2 penetrants. This solvent-based developer meets aerospace and nuclear industry requirements, and complies with all major NDT specifications, including ISO 3452.

SKD-S2 helps speed up the inspection process by going on easily, drying quickly, promoting faster indication formation and minimizing post-inspection cleaning. It is ideal for machine shops, weld testing and field applications.

Benefits

Increases indication visibility

• Improves indication detection by creating an optimal surface for penetrant indication formation
• Bright white, opaque coverage blocks all underlying surface colour and quickly draws penetrant to the surface for stronger, clearer indications

Application versatility

• Can be used with a variety of Type 2 and Type 1 penetrants in many different situations without measuring or diluting
• ISO 3452 conformance allows SKD-S2 to be used to inspect a wide range of parts

Faster cleaning

• Reduces inspection process time by minimising post-inspection cleaning
• Easy-to-apply formula goes on cleanly, dries quickly and promotes faster indication formation to shave time off each step of the inspection process

Composition

A blend of inert inorganic particles suspended in an isopropanol and acetone mix.

Instructions for use

Before using any developer, ensure the test surface is clean, free from excess penetrant, and dry. Residue from water-based penetrants can be removed with a water spray; solvent-based penetrants by wiping with a solvent cleaner.

With visible penetrants, cracks will appear as red lines and porosity as spots. If you see a general reddish colour or pink film, that means the penetrant was not completely removed.

With fluorescent penetrants, indications will fluoresce bright yellow/green under UV light. If you see a general greenish film, that means the penetrant was not completely removed.

If left to stand, the developer particles will settle out of suspension. SKD-S2 must be continually agitated/shaken during use to ensure uniformity of mix.

Apply by spraying only (dipping or brushing will cause excessive solvent action) by aerosol or conventional spray gun. Spray in thin even layers which just wet the
surface. Too wet a spray will cause excessive bleeding and running of indications; too dry a spray will result in slow indication development, as well as possible loss in overall sensitivity.

After inspection, remove developer residue by wiping with a cloth, or use a water and detergent wash.
