01-3354-78 - Magnaflux Zyglo ZP-9F Non-Aqueous Developer Aerosol 11.9oz

High-Performance Non-Aqueous Developer for Critical NDT Applications

Magnaflux Zyglo® ZP-9F is a premium solvent-based, non-aqueous developer designed to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of liquid penetrant inspections. Formulated with organic particles suspended in a fast-drying solvent, ZP-9F creates an opaque white background that provides a high-contrast surface for interpreting indications. When applied to a test surface after the penetrant removal step, the solvent action of ZP-9F helps to draw entrapped penetrant from surface-breaking defects—such as cracks, porosity, and seams—spreading it on the surface to form a visible indication. This 'blotting' action is critical for identifying minute discontinuities that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Engineered for versatility, ZP-9F is compatible with both fluorescent and visible dye penetrants, making it a staple in non-destructive testing (NDT) toolkits across various industries. It is particularly effective in the aerospace, automotive, and power generation sectors where adherence to strict quality standards is mandatory. The product is listed on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List and meets a comprehensive array of industry specifications, including ASTM E1417, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, and NAVSEA 250-1500-1. This ensures that ZP-9F can be integrated into certified inspection processes without compliance concerns.

The aerosol delivery system is designed for ease of use and uniformity. A thin, even coating is all that is required to achieve the necessary background contrast; excessive application is unnecessary and can mask indications. The fast-drying nature of the solvent carrier reduces process time, allowing inspectors to proceed to the evaluation phase quickly. Whether inspecting complex castings, forgings, or critical weldments, Magnaflux ZP-9F delivers the reliability and clarity required for high-stakes structural integrity assessments.

Storage and handling should follow standard safety protocols for flammable aerosols. The product is supplied in a convenient 11.9-ounce can, making it portable for field maintenance or suitable for bench-top inspections in a lab environment. Its characteristic odor is typical of solvent-based developers, and it should be used in well-ventilated areas.
