ZP-14A

Water Soluble Developer

ZP-14A is a water-soluble developer designed to enhance penetrant indications during liquid penetrant inspections. It produces a uniform white porous coating when dry, which is easily removed in post-inspection cleaning by a water spray. This free-flowing white powder dissolves in water to form a developer solution and does not require agitation once the developer bath is prepared.

Features

Bright, highly-defined indications: Enhances visibility of surface discontinuities.
Easy cleanup: Can be cleaned off with water, reducing the need for solvents.
Even, uniform coverage: Provides consistent application across the inspection area.
Chromate and nitrite-free: Safe for use in various environments.
No agitation required: Once the developer bath is prepared, it remains stable without the need for continuous stirring.

Applications

Inspection of castings, forgings, and machined components.
Detection of surface defects such as cracks and porosity.
Suitable for use in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing.
