Magnaflux ZL-60D Level 2 Water Washable Fluorescent Penetrant
Designed for optimal performance on rough machined surfaces, ZL-60D is a medium-sensitivity, water-removable penetrant that excels in detecting indications in castings, forgings, extrusions, and other textured surfaces. This versatile penetrant washes off quickly and easily, minimizing fluorescent background to enhance indication clarity and improve inspection reliability.
As a true “work-horse,” ZL-60D is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, effectively identifying various defects such as cracks, seams, laps, cold shuts, laminations, and porosity. Its high alloy compatibility makes it safe for use on most engineering and aerospace materials, including aluminum, steel, nickel, and titanium.
Recognized on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List and approved for use by Pratt & Whitney, ZL-60D meets extensive specification compliance, ensuring its adaptability across multiple industries. Recommended developers include ZP-4D dry powder, SKD-S2 or ZP-9F solvent-based, and ZP-5B water-based options.
