Magnaflux Zyglo ZL-60D Level 2 Water Washable Fluorescent Penetrant

The Magnaflux Zyglo ZL-60D is a high-performance, Level 2 medium-sensitivity fluorescent penetrant designed specifically for the rigorous demands of non-destructive testing (NDT) in industrial environments. Formulated as a water-washable penetrant, ZL-60D excels in inspecting rough machined surfaces, castings, forgings, and extrusions where surface texture can often complicate the detection of defects. Its unique chemical composition ensures that it washes off parts quickly and easily, significantly reducing background fluorescence. This characteristic is critical for inspectors, as it provides a high-contrast background that makes indications of cracks, laps, porosity, and seams stand out clearly under ultraviolet light.

Engineered for versatility and reliability, ZL-60D is safe for use on a wide array of engineering materials, including aluminum, steel, nickel, and titanium. This broad material compatibility makes it an essential tool for aerospace, automotive, and heavy manufacturing sectors. The penetrant is supplied in a convenient 11.1-ounce aerosol can, allowing for easy, uniform application on complex geometries and in field settings where bulk application systems are not feasible. It meets a comprehensive list of industry standards, including AMS 2644, ASTM E1417, and ASME BPVC, ensuring it fits seamlessly into certified quality control processes.

One of the primary advantages of the ZL-60D is its ability to prevent over-washing while still being easily removable from rough surfaces. This balance ensures that the penetrant remains in the discontinuities—such as cold shuts or delaminations—while the excess is rinsed away, preserving the integrity of the inspection. Whether used for in-process quality checks or final inspection of critical aerospace components, the ZL-60D provides the assurance of a Level 2 sensitivity rating backed by the trusted Magnaflux brand.
