What is Ardrox used for?
Ardrox is a fluorescent dye used to stain cyanoacrylate developed prints. Using Ardrox helps view and photograph latent prints on non-porous, multi-colored surfaces where it is typically difficult to view ridge detail of latent prints under normal lighting.
Who manufactures Ardrox?
Chemetall Group
Chemetall Group – Ardrox®
What is fluorescent dye penetrant?
Fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) is a type of dye penetrant inspection in which a fluorescent dye is applied to the surface of a non-porous material in order to detect defects that may compromise the integrity or quality of the part in question.
What is used for checking the quality of the penetrant?
Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI) is widely used to detect surface breaking flaws. This non-destructive testing technique, also known as liquid penetrant inspection (LPI), is a cost-effective method used to locate surface breaking flaws such as cracks, porosity, laps, seams and other surface discontinuities.
How do you use Ardrox penetrant dye?
Allow part to dry before applying penetrant. Surface temperature should be between 10 and 50°C (50-120°F). Apply a thin even film of Ardrox® 996PB penetrant to cover test area. Allow penetrant 10–30 minutes penetration time before removing.
Does BASF own Chemetall?
In 2016, BASF acquired Chemetall, a leading global supplier of applied surface treatments for metal, plastic and glass substrates in a wide range of industries and end markets. With this expansion in portfolio, BASF becomes a more complete solution provider for coatings.
Which materials can be inspected by penetrant testing?
Penetrant inspection can be performed on various types of materials including metals, ceramics, organic and composite materials. A suitable penetrant/developer pair is chosen based on the fineness of the expected defects and the nature of the material.
Which materials can be tested by MPI?
Which of the following material can be tested by magnetic particle testing? Explanation: Magnetic particle testing works only on materials that can be magnetized easily. Ferromagnetic materials can be magnetized easily and these are also called as permanent magnets.
When did BASF acquire Chemetall?
2016
