OVERVIEW

Detect Weld Defects Fast with Spotcheck SKL-WP2 Red Dye Penetrant

For welders and fabricators, ensuring the integrity of a joint is just as important as laying the bead itself. The Magnaflux Spotcheck® SKL-WP2 Red Dye Penetrant is your go-to solution for finding surface cracks, porosity, and lack of fusion that aren't visible to the naked eye. This 12-pack case ensures you have a steady supply of reliable inspection spray for your shop or field truck. Designed for the 'visible dye' method, this penetrant seeps into the tiniest imperfections and creates a bright red indication when a developer is applied, giving you immediate feedback on the quality of your work.

What sets the SKL-WP2 apart is its water-washable formula. After applying the spray and letting it dwell, you don't need to waste cans of solvent cleaner to remove the excess dye. Simply rinse the part with water. This is a huge time-saver, especially when working on large pipe sections, tanks, or rough weldments where wiping with a rag is difficult or ineffective. The dye washes away cleanly from the surface but stays trapped inside any cracks, ensuring that when you apply the developer, the defect shows up clearly against the white background. This makes it incredibly user-friendly for daily inspections in busy welding shops.

This penetrant is safe for use on a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other alloys. It is formulated to be low-odor, making it more pleasant to use in confined spaces compared to harsher chemical alternatives. Whether you are checking for crater cracks at the end of a weld or inspecting a repair on a casting, SKL-WP2 gives you the confidence that your work meets the necessary standards. It meets ASME and ASTM requirements, so you can use it for code work with full confidence.

Why Welders Choose SKL-WP2:

  • Easy Cleanup: Rinses off with water, saving you time and money on solvent cleaners.
  • Clear Results: Vivid red color makes it easy to spot pinholes and hairline cracks.
  • Works on Rough Surfaces: Ideal for as-welded surfaces and castings where other penetrants might leave too much background pink.
  • Reliable: Trusted by NDT professionals worldwide for accurate defect detection.

FAQ

Yes, after applying the penetrant and washing off the excess, you must apply a developer (like Spotcheck SKD-S2) to draw the penetrant out of the cracks and make them visible.

Yes, SKL-WP2 is designed to be easily removed with water, which is ideal for rough surfaces and large parts where wiping is difficult.

It is suitable for a wide variety of metals, including ferrous (steel, iron) and non-ferrous (aluminum, copper) alloys, as well as some ceramics.

Dwell time depends on the material and temperature, but generally ranges from 10 to 30 minutes to allow the penetrant to fully enter discontinuities.

Yes, SKL-WP2 meets major standards including AMS 2644, ASTM E1417, ASME BPVC, and ISO 3452.

Yes, the aerosol propellant and contents are flammable. Keep away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources during use.

Yes, it is effective for leak detection in tanks, pipes, and pressure vessels.

Please refer to the specific batch information and the Shelf Life Statement provided by Magnaflux, but generally, aerosols should be stored properly to maintain effectiveness.
