MAGNAFLUX SKD-S2 Developer

Magnaflux SKD-S2 Developer is a high-performance, dry powder developer designed for use in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. It is particularly used in the magnetic particle and dye penetrant inspection processes, ensuring that any surface flaws, cracks, or defects are clearly visible for evaluation. This developer is highly effective in highlighting defects by providing a bright, white background that contrasts with the penetrant or magnetic particles, improving the visibility of even the smallest imperfections.

Key Features and Benefits:

1. Enhanced Defect Visibility:
   • The SKD-S2 Developer produces a bright, white background that helps to make surface defects such as cracks, leaks, and flaws more visible during NDT procedures.
2. Ideal for Magnetic Particle and Dye Penetrant Testing:
   • Specifically designed for use with magnetic particle and dye penetrant testing methods, making it a perfect companion for these widely-used NDT techniques.
3. Easy Application:
   • The developer is easy to apply and works quickly, making it ideal for both large-scale industrial applications and smaller, more detailed inspections.
4. High Sensitivity:
   • It enhances the contrast of defects, allowing inspectors to identify even minor imperfections that might otherwise go unnoticed, improving the overall quality of the inspection process.
5. Quick Drying:
   • SKD-S2 dries quickly, ensuring minimal waiting time between steps in the inspection process.
6. Non-Flammable and Safe:
   • The product is non-flammable and safe to use, adhering to industry safety standards for chemical products.

Common Uses:

• Magnetic Particle Testing:
  • Used to detect surface and near-surface cracks in ferromagnetic materials. It is applied after the magnetic particle inspection process to help highlight flaws.
• Dye Penetrant Testing:
  • Used in conjunction with the dye penetrant inspection method to develop the penetrant and highlight any surface-breaking defects such as cracks, porosity, or other discontinuities.
• Aerospace and Automotive:
  • Ideal for use in the aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries, where high-quality inspection and detection of defects are critical for safety and performance.
• Weld Inspections:
  • Commonly used to inspect welded components for cracks or flaws that could affect the structural integrity of the weld.

How to Use:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure the surface to be inspected is clean and free from dirt, grease, or other contaminants before applying the developer.
2. Application:
   • Apply the SKD-S2 Developer evenly over the surface after the penetrant or magnetic particles have been removed, as per the inspection process.
   • The developer can be applied by dusting or spraying, depending on the specific requirements of the inspection.
3. Allow to Dry:
   • Let the developer dry completely to create a uniform white background that will make any defects visible.
4. Inspect for Defects:
   • After the developer has dried, inspect the surface for any defects. The contrast between the white developer and the penetrant or magnetic particles will make cracks and other imperfections stand out clearly.
