Magnaflux ZL-67 Level 3 Water Washable Fluorescent Penetrant

Experience advanced defect detection with the high-sensitivity Level 3 ZL-67 fluorescent water removable penetrant, meticulously designed for identifying fine indications in critical aerospace and engineering components. This penetrant excels in uncovering flaws in investment castings, jet engine parts, and highly machined surfaces, ensuring safety and reliability in high-stakes environments.

Formulated for optimal capillary action, ZL-67 penetrates defects rapidly, providing quick bleed-out into developer solutions, resulting in stronger and higher contrast indications. This makes it easier for inspectors to identify even the smallest defects, enhancing overall inspection quality.

ZL-67 is recognized on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List and is approved for use by Pratt & Whitney, affirming its reliability and compliance with industry standards.

Q&A: Magnaflux ZL-67

What is ZL-67?

Q: What kind of penetrant is ZL-67?

A: ZL-67 is a fluorescent water-washable penetrant (Type 1) of Level 3 (high) sensitivity. It is used in liquid penetrant testing under UV light to locate surface-open defects.

Q: What does “water-washable” mean in this context?

A: It can be removed using water, typically via immersion or water spray, rather than requiring a separate emulsifier step. This is known as Method A in penetrant testing standards.

Applications & Use Cases

Q: What kinds of parts is ZL-67 especially good for?

A: It is well-suited for safety-critical components in aerospace and engineering, including:

  • Investment castings
  • Jet engine components
  • Highly machined surfaces
  • Precision forgings
  • Parts made from aluminum, steel, nickel, titanium

Q: What defect types can it detect?

A: Surface-open defects such as cracks, seams, porosity.

Specifications & Performance

Q: What are the key physical / chemical properties?

  • Sensitivity: Level 3 (high sensitivity)
  • Flash Point: > 200 °F (> 93 °C)
  • Density: ~ 0.96 g/cc (≈ 7.96 lb/gal)
  • Viscosity: @ ~ 38 °C (100 °F)~ 21.06 centistokes
  • Usage Temperature Range: 5-52 °C (40-125 °F)
  • Storage Temperature: 10-30 °C (50-86 °F)

Q: What standards/specs does ZL-67 comply with?

A: SAE AMS 2644 (QPL listed), ASME BPVC, ASTM E1417, ASTM E165, plus multiple aerospace manufacturer approvals.

Pros & Limitations

Q: What are the benefits of using ZL-67?

  • High contrast, bright indications under UV light
  • Strong capillary action for fine defect detection
  • Wide applicability across alloys and machined surfaces
  • Good thermal and UV stability, low volatility

Q: What are potential drawbacks?

A: Requires careful wash control to prevent over-washing, needs UV light for inspection, and poses eye/skin irritation hazards.

Safety, Handling & Storage

Q: What personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended?

A: Protective gloves, splash goggles or face shield, protective clothing, and respirator in low-ventilation spray applications.

Q: What are the storage conditions?

A: Store in tightly closed containers between 10-30 °C (50-86 °F). Keep away from heat and ignition sources.

Disposal & Environmental Considerations

Q: How should waste be disposed?

A: Follow local regulations. Empty containers may contain residue; liquid waste should be handled by licensed contractors.

Q: What is its environmental hazard profile?

A: Not classified as a carcinogen, but can cause eye and skin irritation. Biodegradable but should not be released directly into waterways.
