Ardrox 906 is a high-sensitivity liquid penetrant designed for robust non-destructive inspection. It is primarily utilized in industrial applications for the precise detection of surface-breaking discontinuities and flaws across various metallic components.
Key Specifications and Features:
– Sensitivity: High-sensitivity formulation for detecting fine surface defects, generally considered equivalent to Level 1 for visible penetrants.
– Viscosity: Low-viscosity liquid optimized for superior flow and maximum surface coverage.
– Surface Wetting: Features excellent surface wetting properties, ensuring uniform application and thorough penetration into potential discontinuities.
– Material Compatibility: Non-corrosive and safe for use on all metal alloys, meeting AMS 2644 corrosion requirements. Note: Ardrox 906 may stain or soften certain plastics.
– Penetrant Type & Method: A versatile, solvent-based visible penetrant that can be applied as either a water-washable (Method A) or solvent-removable (Method C) solution.
– Indication Quality: Provides crisp, clear indications with minimal residual background, facilitating accurate and easy interpretation of defects.
