Water Soluble Developer

This water-soluble developer is designed to enhance penetrant indications during liquid penetrant inspections. It produces a uniform white porous coating when dry, which can be easily removed with a water spray during post-inspection cleaning. The advantages include bright and highly-defined indications, ensuring optimal visibility for defect detection.

The free-flowing white powder dissolves seamlessly in water to form a developer solution that does not require agitation once prepared. It is recommended for use with Level 2 ZL-2C, Level 3 ZL-27A, and Level 4 ZL-37 post-emulsifiable penetrants, making it a versatile choice for various applications.

This developer is listed on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

    PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

    Developer tank should be clean before developer bath is mixed. Fill the tank with the appropriate amount of water and slowly add the appropriate amount of developer powder to the water while stirring or agitating bath until it is completely dissolved. Once the powder is dissolved, agitation is not required to keep the developer particles suspended. To speed up bath preparation, warm water can be used, however developer bath temperature should never exceed 120°F / 48°C. Developer powder is dusty and use of a simple filter mask may be desirable during handling.

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

    ZP-14A developer bath can be applied by immersion dip, spray or flow-on techniques, with immersion being the preferred method. If the immersion dip application is used, care must be taken to avoid transferring penetrant into the developer bath. Complete removal of surface penetrant will prolong the developer bath life. The developer bath temperature should not exceed 120°F / 48°C. If spray or flow-on techniques are used, care should be taken to avoid foaming as foam bubbles will create holes in the developer film. Use ZAF-2 antifoaming additive if necessary.

    Developer bath is applied after the surface penetrant has been removed. Complete coverage of the part is essential to quality inspection. The application time is only long enough to cover the part completely. Additional contact with the developer bath may result in reduced sensitivity due to removal of penetrant from shallow discontinuities by detergent action. For best results, forced warm air drying (140ºF / 60ºC) is recommended after developer application. Once the developer is dry, the part should be removed from the dryer to prevent degrading the penetrant's visibility.

    Maintenance Recommendations:

    Developer bath concentration can be monitored using a hydrometer or by taking a known volume of the bath, evaporating off the water and then weighing the residue. When using a hydrometer, refer to the density concentration chart provided on the Product Data Sheet.
