OVERVIEW

Professional Grade NDT Cleaner and Remover

The Magnaflux SKC-S Spotcheck Cleaner/Remover is a premium, non-halogenated solvent designed specifically for the rigorous demands of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). As a critical component of the liquid penetrant inspection process, SKC-S ensures the integrity of your testing results by providing a pristine surface for inspection. This solvent is formulated to be highly volatile, allowing it to evaporate rapidly without leaving any residue that could interfere with developer action or mask indications.

SKC-S serves a dual function in the NDT workflow. First, it acts as a heavy-duty pre-cleaner, effectively dissolving oils, greases, and other organic contaminants from the surface of the part before the penetrant is applied. Proper pre-cleaning is essential to allow the penetrant to enter surface-breaking defects. Second, it is used as a penetrant remover (Method C) to wipe away excess surface penetrant after the dwell time is complete, ensuring that the background is clean for high-contrast indication visibility.

Engineered for compliance, SKC-S meets major industry specifications, including AMS 2644, ASTM E165, ASTM E1417, and ISO 3452. This makes it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and general industrial applications where certified products are required. The 16 oz aerosol format provides a convenient, portable solution for field inspectors and shop technicians alike. Its compatibility with most engineering alloys makes it a versatile tool in any quality assurance toolkit.

FAQ

SKC-S is used for pre-cleaning parts before testing and for removing excess surface penetrant during the inspection process.

No, SKC-S is a non-halogenated (non-chlorinated) solvent cleaner.

For removing excess penetrant, it is recommended to spray SKC-S on a cloth and wipe the part. Spraying directly can wash penetrant out of defects.

Yes, SKC-S meets ASTM E165, ASTM E1417, and AMS 2644 specifications.

Yes, SKC-S is a flammable aerosol and should be kept away from open flames and sparks.

It is safe for use on most engineering alloys, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Caution is advised with certain plastics.

No, it is formulated to evaporate rapidly and leave no residue, ensuring a clean surface for developer application.

The typical shelf life for Magnaflux aerosols is 5 years from the date of manufacture when stored properly.
