OVERVIEW

Reliable Weld Inspection Cleaner

When it comes to checking your welds for cracks and defects, preparation is everything. The Magnaflux SKC-S Spotcheck Cleaner/Remover is the industry-standard aerosol for welders and inspectors who need reliable results from their dye penetrant testing. Whether you are working on a pipeline in the field or inspecting structural steel in the shop, this 16 oz aerosol can is your first step toward a successful inspection.

Using SKC-S is straightforward and effective. Before applying your dye penetrant, spray SKC-S directly onto the weld area to cut through oil, grease, and shop grime. Its fast-drying formula wipes away clean, leaving a dry surface ready for testing. Once you've applied your penetrant and let it soak, SKC-S comes into play again. Simply spray it onto a lint-free cloth (never directly on the part at this stage) and wipe away the excess red dye. This technique ensures you don't wash the dye out of the cracks, giving you bright, clear indications when you apply the developer.

Magnaflux has formulated SKC-S to be non-chlorinated, making it safer for use on specific alloys where halogens are a concern. It is tough on contaminants but gentle enough to ensure your test results are accurate. Don't risk a failed inspection due to poor surface prep or background "noise" from leftover dye. Keep a can of SKC-S in your welding truck or tool chest to ensure every dye penetrant test meets the highest standards of quality and safety.

Why Welders Choose SKC-S:

  • Fast Prep: Dries instantly so you can move to the next step.
  • Clear Results: Removes background dye for sharp, easy-to-read defect indications.
  • Versatile: Works on steel, stainless, aluminum, and more.
  • Trusted Brand: Magnaflux is the name pros trust for NDT.
