Magnaflux WCP-2 White Contrast Paint

Magnaflux WCP-2 is a bright white, opaque NDT contrast paint designed to provide a high-contrast background that improves the probability of detection and sensitivity during visible magnetic particle inspections. This fast-drying aerosol sprays on evenly without flaking, making it an essential tool for effective non-destructive testing on dark-colored surfaces.

Professional White Contrast Paint — Magnaflux WCP-2 enhances visible indications on dark-colored test surfaces for superior magnetic particle inspection results.

Key Features

  • High Contrast Background: Bright white, opaque formulation significantly improves detection probability and sensitivity on dark surfaces
  • Fast-Drying Formula: Quick-drying aerosol application sprays on evenly without flaking or uneven coverage
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with all types of colored and visible magnetic particles, including 7HF and 7C Black wet method particles, or #2 Yellow and #8A Red dry method magnetic powders
  • Professional Grade: Magnaflux WCP-2 meets industry standards for magnetic particle inspection applications
  • Easy Application: Convenient aerosol spray format ensures smooth, consistent coverage on test surfaces
Pro NDT Tip

Apply Thin, Even Coats: For best results, hold the aerosol 8–12 inches from the surface and apply a thin, uniform coat — avoid heavy application as thick coats can mask fine indications. Allow WCP-2 to dry completely before applying magnetic particles. On rough or porous surfaces, a second light coat may improve contrast. Always inspect the white coating under adequate lighting before proceeding with particle application.

Applications

  • Visible magnetic particle inspection (MPI) on dark-colored or rough surfaces
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) quality control processes
  • Aerospace component inspection and testing
  • Automotive manufacturing quality assurance
  • Industrial maintenance and safety inspections

Specifications

Product Name: Magnaflux WCP-2 White Contrast Paint

Color: Bright white, opaque finish

Application: Visible magnetic particle inspection on dark surfaces

Format: Fast-drying aerosol spray

Compatibility: All colored and visible magnetic particles (wet and dry method)

Brand: Magnaflux Magnavis

Magnaflux WCP-2 contrast paint maximizes indication visibility by creating a stark white background against which non-fluorescent magnetic particles appear clearly. This NDT contrast paint is essential for professionals conducting magnetic particle inspections where enhanced detection sensitivity is critical for accurate defect identification.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Use 7HF, 7C Black, #2 Yellow or #8A Red and with appropriate magnetization procedure and equipment. For best results, all components, parts, or areas to be tested should be clean and dry prior to testing to provide an optimal test surface and reduce particle suspension contamination.

Use with WCP-2 to improve contrast and inspection sensitivity.

1. Shake the can well before use and occasionally during application to ensure suspension uniformity and concentration.

2. Apply the minimum amount of WCP-2 needed to hide the color of the underlying metal. Several light passes are better than one heavy one.

3. Hold the can 7 to 9 inches (18 to 24 cm) from the area to be tested.

4. Allow the film of WCP-2 to dry completely before applying magnetic particles, film typically dries in 60 seconds under ambient conditions.

REMOVAL

Remove WCP-2 with acetone for best results. All components, parts, or inspection areas must be properly demagnetized before cleaning to ensure easy particle removal. Cleaned parts may be treated with a temporary film protective coating if longer corrosion protection is required.
