OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Crack Detection for Welders

Ensure the integrity of your welds with the Magnaflux SKD-S2 Developer, a crucial component of the dye penetrant inspection process. When you need to verify that your work is free from surface-breaking defects like cracks, cold laps, or porosity, this high-contrast developer spray is the industry standard solution. Designed for ease of use in the shop or out in the field, the SKD-S2 comes in a convenient 16 oz aerosol can that delivers a fine, even mist, coating your workpiece in a clean white layer.

The process is simple but effective: after applying your penetrant and cleaning the surface, spray on the SKD-S2. As it dries—which happens almost instantly—it acts like a blotter. It pulls the red dye trapped inside any cracks back up to the surface. The result is a vivid red mark against a stark white background, making defects impossible to miss. This level of clarity is essential for welders working on critical structural components, pressure vessels, or automotive parts where safety is paramount.

Magnaflux has formulated this developer to be tough on defects but safe for your materials. It is low in sulfur and halogens, meaning it won't cause corrosion or damage to sensitive metals like stainless steel or aluminum. It is the perfect finishing step for the Spotcheck system, giving you the confidence that your welds meet the highest quality standards. Whether you are performing maintenance repair operations (MRO) or final fabrication inspections, SKD-S2 helps you catch issues before they become failures.

Why Welders Choose SKD-S2

  • Instant Results: Fast-drying formula means you don't have to wait around to see if your weld holds up.
  • Clear Visibility: The bright white coating makes red indications pop, reducing eye strain and missed defects.
  • Field Ready: Portable aerosol format is perfect for climbing ladders, getting into tight spaces, or quick bench checks.
