NABAKEM MEGACHECK DEVELOPER

NABAKEM MEGACHECK DEVELOPER is a high-quality, fast-drying developer designed for use in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications, particularly for penetrant testing (PT). It is used to enhance the visibility of surface defects during inspection processes, making it an essential component in ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Key Features

1. Enhanced Fluorescent Contrast:
   • The developer is designed to create a high-contrast background, making it easier to identify surface defects like cracks, porosity, and other imperfections during penetrant testing (PT).
2. Fast-Drying:
   • The developer dries quickly, reducing downtime during inspections and improving overall efficiency.
3. Non-Fluorescent:
   • The developer itself does not fluoresce under UV light, ensuring that the penetrant’s fluorescent indications stand out clearly for easy detection.
4. Easy Application:
   • It is easy to apply by spraying or brushing, allowing flexibility based on the surface and application needs.
5. Non-Damaging:
   • Safe to use on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, without causing damage or altering the surface being tested.
6. Environmentally Friendly:
   • The formula is designed to be environmentally safe, minimizing harmful effects while still providing high performance.

Applications

• Penetrant Testing (PT):
  • The primary use of NABAKEM MEGACHECK DEVELOPER is in penetrant testing, where it helps enhance the visibility of fluorescent penetrants, allowing inspectors to detect surface-breaking defects like cracks, leaks, or voids in materials.
• Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI):
  • It can also be used in conjunction with other NDT methods like magnetic particle inspection (MPI) to enhance the visibility of defects.
• Industrial and Manufacturing Inspections:
  • Used in a variety of industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and manufacturing, where the integrity of materials is critical.

How to Use

1. Preparation:
   • Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any oils, greases, dirt, or other contaminants that might interfere with the testing process. You can use a cleaner like NABAKEM MEGACHECK CLEANER for this purpose.
2. Apply the Penetrant:
   • Apply the penetrant to the cleaned surface, ensuring that it penetrates into any surface defects. Allow the penetrant to dwell as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Remove Excess Penetrant:
   • After the dwell time, wipe off the excess penetrant from the surface.
4. Apply the Developer:
   • Spray or brush the NABAKEM MEGACHECK DEVELOPER onto the surface. The developer will create a white or contrasting background that makes the fluorescent indications of the penetrant more visible under UV light.
5. Inspect:
   • Examine the surface under ultraviolet (UV) light for any visible indications of defects. The contrast between the fluorescent penetrant and the developer will help highlight any surface-breaking flaws.
6. Clean Up:
   • After inspection, clean the surface thoroughly to remove any residual developer, penetrant, or other chemicals.
