Babbco WB100 (10-Ltr-Barrel)

Additional Product Information

Overview

• Aqua-Chek WB-100 is a water-washable fluorescent penetrant designed for precise detection of surface-breaking flaws.
• Produces bright green-yellow fluorescence under UV-A light for clear and reliable inspection results.
• Free-rinsing formulation eliminates oils and petroleum distillates, reducing waste treatment costs and environmental impact.
• Self-developing penetrant; optional use of Sherwin?s D-90G and D-100 series developers to enhance flaw visibility in critical inspections.
• Minimum required dwell time: 10 minutes or longer to maximize penetrant effectiveness.
