Magnaflux Non-Fluorescent Magnetic Particles

These yellow-colored, non-fluorescent magnetic particles are designed for effective dry method magnetic particle testing under visible light. They provide strong contrast on various metal surfaces, making them ideal for detecting surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferrous metals. Whether used with a powder blower or shaken from a bottle, these particles can be applied during magnetization and blown off while current is still active. Remarkably, on materials with high magnetic retentivity, indications can form even after the current is switched off.

Benefits

  • Sharp, color-contrast indications on high reflective surfaces
  • Ready-to-use formulation
  • Excellent particle buildup for quick detection
  • Highly refined for optimal particle shape and size
  • Minimal dust accumulation
  • No requirement for black light or darkened inspection areas

Use Recommendations

NDT Method: Magnetic Particle Testing, Nonfluorescent / Visible, Dry Method

Required Equipment: Magnetizing device, powder dispenser

Temperature Range: NA to 500°F / NA to 260°C

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Use #2 Yellow 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. Apply a fine layer of #2 Yellow to test area with a powder dispensing device, such as a powder spray bulb or powder blower. As the current is being applied, dust the powder over the part. If there is excessive powder background, gently blow the excess powder off while the magnetic current is flowing.

REMOVAL

All components, parts, or inspection areas must be properly demagnetized before cleaning to ensure easy particle removal. Remove particles with air blower or brush.

STORAGE

Store unused product in the original container. Keep container closed when not in use. Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated area away from magnetizing equipment. Cool, dry storage location is preferred. Refer to Safety Data Sheet for additional storage instructions.
