ZP-5B

Aqueous Developer

ZP-5B is a white powder developer designed for use in liquid penetrant inspections. When mixed with water, it forms an opaque white suspension that provides a contrasting background for penetrant indications. This developer is suitable for both fluorescent (Type 1) and visible (Type 2) penetrant testing methods.

Features

Opaque White Coating: Enhances visibility of surface discontinuities by providing a contrasting background.
Water-Suspendible: Easily mixes with water to form a uniform suspension; requires continuous agitation during use to maintain consistency.
Non-Flammable: Safe for use in various environments without the risk of combustion.
Versatile Application: Suitable for both fluorescent and visible penetrant testing methods.
Corrosion Inhibitors: Contains additives to protect the test surface from corrosion during the inspection process.

Applications

Industries: Aerospace, automotive, construction, manufacturing, and maintenance.
Components: Castings, forgings, welds, pressure vessels, and general metalwork.
Defect Detection: Cracks, seams, and other surface discontinuities.
