SPOTCHECK is the most reliable and widely used penetrant inspection method that reveals cracks and other surface discontinuities in virtually any non-porous material.

SPOTCHECK’s formulation, using a high concentration of quality dyes, together with high quality solvents, provides the best possible dye penetrants for finding the smallest and finest defects. Other products may skimp on dyes or use inferior solvents that cut costs. In doing so, indications do not appear as bright or vibrant and cracks can be missed. Some inferior solvents may also cause health hazards.

- Our developer’s even spray pattern provides a uniform coating.
- Our SPOTCHECK products are the most widely used in the inspection of welds in a variety of industries.
- Dependability, consistency and safety should be the major concern in your inspection process – MAGNAFLUX® has it all.

SPOTCHECK delivers accurate, reliable crack detection results in the following applications: Automobile Parts; Off-Road Equipment; Farm Equipment; Welds; Castings; Forgings; Leak Testing; Pressure Vessels/Aircraft; Maintenance; Marine Construction/Maintenance; Petroleum Pipelines; Power Plant Inspections; General Metalwork.

PENETRANTS

SKL-SP1 Solvent Removable Penetrant Good for rough surfaces and large parts.
Spotcheck SKL-SP1 is a solvent removable (or post emulsifiable) red colour contrast penetrant. SKL-SP1 exhibits outstanding penetrating characteristics which provide for maximum reliability in locating surface-open flaws and discontinuities.
It can be used over the entire spectrum of industrial applications, where a visible penetrant inspection system meets the requirements for surface-open flaw detection.
Typical applications include castings, forgings, leak testing, welds and general metal work. SKL-SP1 has also been successfully used on non-porous ceramics and similar materials. However it is not recommended for the inspection of plastic materials, as it may stain, soften or even dissolve the base material under test.
Approved Developers: SKD-S2 & ZP-5B
Approved Cleaner: SKC-S

SKL-WP Water Washable Penetrant General purpose water washable penetrant.
Spotcheck SKL-WP is a general purpose water washable red colour contrast penetrant.
SKL-WP exhibits outstanding penetrating characteristics which provides for maximum reliability in locating surface-open flaws and discontinuities.
SKL-WP is formulated to give excellent controlled washability over a wide temperature range and variable dwell times

Approved Cleaner: Not Required

SKL-4C Water Based Penetrant Bright red in the daylight; fluorescent orange in UV light. Liquid oxygen compatible. For non-certified applications. Used as a leak detector and for inspection of plastic.
Spotcheck SKL-4C is a water based, water washable, biodegradable, red penetrant. SKL-4C is dark purplish red under visible light and fluorescent orange under black light to give it a dual range inspection capability. SKL-4C can be diluted infinitely with water but is generally recommended at 1:1 dilution. SKL-4C can be used as a liquid oxygen compatible penetrant, but is not certified as to its LOX compatibility.
Approved Developer: SKD-S2
Approved Cleaner: Not Required

CLEANERS/REMOVERS

SKC-S Solvent Cleaner Non-Chlorinated. Flammable. Meets major requirements for major specifications. SKC-S cleaner/remover is a clear colourless flammable solvent used as a general pre-cleaner and penetrant remover. SKC-S is ideal for situations where chlorinated solvents are undesirable or prohibited. Its unique composition allows use on a wide range of substrates to remove oils, greases and other contaminants.

SKC-HF Solvent Cleaner High Flash point. Low odor cleaner/remover. Meets sulfur and chlorine requirements of major specifications.

DEVELOPERS

SKD-S2 Solvent Developer General purpose solvent developer.
SKD-S2 is a ready to use suspension of white developing particles in a fast drying solvent.
SKD-S2 produces an opaque white coating, which provides an excellent contrasting background for SPOTCHECK OR ZYGLO penetrant indications. SKD-S2 is specially formulated to be low in sulfur and halogens and contains no chlorinated hydrocarbons.
SKD-S2 non aqueous developer provides maximum sensitivity through its solvent action on the penetrant at the defect site. SKD-S2 is compatible with and approved for use with all MAGNAFLUX Spotcheck and Zyglo penetrants.

ZP-5B Aqueous Water Suspendible Developer General purpose water suspendible developer.
ZP-5B is a white powder which is to be dispersed into water. ZP-5B disperses quickly to form an opaque white suspension. ZP-5B must be continually agitated during use to ensure uniformity of mix as developer will settle out on standing. ZP-5B forms a uniform white coating which enhances fluorescent indications formed by Zyglo penetrants. At higher concentration, ZP-5B forms an opaque white coating which provides contrasting background for Spotcheck indications.
