Product information

Magnaflux SKL-SP2 Solvent Removable Visible Penetrant

Developed for preventative maintenance, control checks and weld inspection, SKL-SP2 is a rich, vivid red dye penetrant for Type 2 penetrant testing in visible white light.

This solvent-removeable penetrant is designed to provide complete, consistent test-surface coverage with minimal product for an optimal balance of reliability, performance and value.

SKL-SP2 dependably locates surface flaws and discontinuities with a simple three-step process that is ideal for basic industrial NDT and for people looking to get into non-destructive testing.

This colour-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, and on non-porous ceramics.

Benefits

Fastest inspection processing

• Reliable, simple 3-step process is a convenient and easy-to-use solution for preventative maintenance and control checks
• Quickly and completely covers the entire test surface due to high surface wetting
• Remove excess penetrant without water to eliminate the need to dry parts before applying developer
  ​

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
   

Maximum indication detection

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

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
   

Maximize operator comfort and safety

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

Defect examples: cracks and leaks

NOTE: we do not recommend SKL-SP2 for inspecting plastic materials, as it may stain, soften or even dissolve the base material under test.

Instructions for use

Ensure test part is clean and dry, and free from oil, grease and other contaminants.

Apply SKL-SP2 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.

Remove excess surface penetrant with a solvent wipe or by the hydrophilic remover method (see opposite).

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.

* A developer is used to maximise sensitivity and provide a white contrasting 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. SKL-SP2 Penetrant residues can be removed by vapour degreasing or solvent soak.
