OVERVIEW

Reliable Non-Destructive Testing with Magnaflux SKL-WP

The Magnaflux SKL-WP is a premium water-washable penetrant designed for industrial non-destructive testing (NDT). Packaged in a convenient 16oz aerosol can, this product is a staple for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals who require accurate flaw detection on a variety of non-porous surfaces. As part of the renowned Spotcheck family of products, SKL-WP offers a vivid red color that contrasts sharply against developers, ensuring that even the smallest surface discontinuities are visible to the inspector.

One of the primary benefits of the SKL-WP formula is its water-washable nature. Unlike solvent-removable penetrants that require careful wiping with a solvent-dampened cloth, SKL-WP can be rinsed directly with a water spray. This feature is particularly advantageous when working with rough surfaces, such as sand castings or raw welds, where excess penetrant can get trapped in surface textures. The ability to wash the excess away with water simplifies the process and reduces the consumption of solvent cleaners, making it a cost-effective choice for larger inspection areas.

This penetrant is formulated to exhibit outstanding penetrating characteristics, allowing it to seep into tight cracks and defects effectively. It is widely used in the inspection of welds, forgings, pressure vessels, and general metalwork. Whether you are inspecting automotive parts, structural steel, or pipeline components, Magnaflux SKL-WP provides the reliability and sensitivity needed to maintain safety and quality standards. At Josef Gas, we ensure that our inventory of NDT chemicals is fresh and ready for immediate dispatch to support your critical inspection workflows.

Key Benefits:

  • Easy Removal: Water-washable formulation simplifies the cleaning step, especially on textured surfaces.
  • High Visibility: Deep red dye creates a strong indication against white developers.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a broad range of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

FAQ

SKL-WP is water-washable, meaning excess penetrant can be rinsed off with water. SKL-SP2 is solvent-removable, requiring a cloth dampened with cleaner/remover to wipe off excess.

Yes, a developer (like Magnaflux SKD-S2) is required to draw the penetrant out of the crack and provide a white background for contrast.

It is generally safe for many materials, but you should test on a small area first as the solvents in the carrier might affect some plastics. It is primarily designed for metals and ceramics.

The dwell time typically ranges from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the material and the type of defect you are looking for.

Yes, as an aerosol product containing petroleum distillates, it is flammable and should be kept away from open flames and sparks.

Yes, it can be used for leak detection by applying it to one side of a wall or vessel and applying developer to the other side to see if it penetrates through.

Magnaflux aerosols typically have a shelf life of 5 years from the date of manufacture when stored properly.

No, SKL-WP is a visible red dye penetrant designed for use under white light. It does not fluoresce under UV light.
