Magnaflux ZL-19 Level 1 Water Washable Fluorescent Penetrant
Designed specifically for non-safety critical components, this water-washable Level 1 penetrant excels in detecting larger discontinuities in rough or unmachined surfaces such as castings and forgings. It is particularly suited for inspecting a variety of automotive and industrial components, including engine cylinder blocks, power train components, rocker arms, and pistons.
The ZL-19 penetrant features exceptional washability, allowing for easy removal and leaving minimal background fluorescence for clearer indications, even on rough surfaces. This efficient rinsing process not only reduces water usage but also simplifies the disposal of rinse water, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
By utilizing ZL-19, users can significantly lower their overall cost per part through reduced penetrant loss, expedited washing and inspection processes, and decreased rinse water expenses. It is compatible with various developers, including ZP-4D dry powder, ZP-5B water suspendible in agitated tanks, and ZP-9F non-aqueous developers. When illuminated with a UV-A light source, indications will display as a vivid green-yellow fluorescence.
