Water-Based Fluorescent Penetrant

Chemetall offers a new water-based penetrant for eco-friendly and process efficient fluorescent penetrant inspection. Britemor 921 (W) enables bright and crisp indications on a wide range of materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and non-porous ceramics, thanks to its very low fluorescent background and excellent wash characteristics. Chemetall's liquid penetrant testing product uses water as the main carrier which is stabilized by a distinctive micro-emulsion technology. These micro-emulsions are thermodynamically stable and composition includes isotropic liquid mixtures of solvent, water and emulsifier. The low viscosity of the Britemor 921 (W) ensures minimal drag out, reduces overall product and rinse water consumption and minimizes the effluent treatment costs. The overall low COD and BOD values reduce the amount of contaminants in the rinse water. Consequently, the process requires less consumable, such as activated charcoal, to adsorb organic load in the waste water. Complemented by a low toxic unit value, it offers the opportunity of a direct discharge to the drain, depending on local water, environment authority regulations.
