SKL-SP - Magnaflux Spotcheck SKL-SP2 Red Dye Penetrant Aerosol

Professional Grade Solvent Removable Penetrant

Magnaflux Spotcheck SKL-SP2 is a solvent-removable, red color contrast penetrant designed for the rigorous demands of industrial non-destructive testing (NDT). Classified as a Type 2, Method C penetrant under AMS 2644, SKL-SP2 exhibits outstanding penetrating characteristics, allowing it to seep into tight, surface-breaking discontinuities such as cracks, laps, and porosity. This product is engineered to provide maximum reliability in locating flaws on a variety of non-porous materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, and glass.

The deep red color of the penetrant creates a high-contrast indication when drawn out by a white developer, such as SKD-S2. This sharp contrast is critical for inspectors to accurately identify and characterize defects during the visible dye penetrant process. Because it is solvent removable, SKL-SP2 is particularly advantageous for spot inspections and field applications where bulk water rinsing is impractical or where the part size prevents immersion. It is a staple in the toolkits of certified NDT technicians working in power generation, aerospace, and heavy manufacturing.

SKL-SP2 is formulated to meet or exceed the requirements of major industry standards, including ASTM E1417, ASTM E165, ISO 3452, and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Its consistent performance ensures that quality control processes remain robust and compliant. The aerosol delivery system allows for even application on complex geometries, ensuring that critical areas like weld toes and heat-affected zones are thoroughly covered for inspection.

Typical Applications:

• Welds and heat-affected zones
• Forgings and castings
• Pressure vessels and piping
• Leak testing in automotive and marine components
• General metalwork inspection
