OVERVIEW

Quick and Easy Weld Inspection Spray

Ensure the quality of your welds with the CANP301W-A Water Washable Penetrant Dye. Every welder knows that surface cracks and porosity can compromise the structural integrity of a project. This 16oz aerosol spray acts as a 'truth serum' for your metalwork, seeping into invisible defects and turning them into bright red indicators that are impossible to miss. Whether you are checking a critical root pass or performing a final inspection on a heavy fabrication, this dye gives you the confidence that your work is sound.

The standout feature of this penetrant is its water-washable formula. Unlike solvent-removable dyes that require careful wiping with cleaner-soaked rags, this dye allows you to wash away the excess surface color with a gentle water spray or a damp cloth. This makes the cleanup process much faster and less messy, letting you get to the developer stage—and the results—quicker. It is an essential tool for any welding shop, field repair truck, or garage.

How it Helps Welders:

  • Finds Hidden Flaws: Reveals cracks, pinholes, and lack of fusion that are invisible to the naked eye.
  • Simple Cleanup: Just rinse the excess off with water; no special solvents required for the wash step.
  • Easy to Use: Shake the can, spray it on, let it sit, and wash it off. It's that simple.
  • Cost-Effective: A single can covers a large area, making it an economical choice for routine inspections.

Don't leave your weld quality to chance. Keep a can of this water-washable penetrant in your toolbox for reliable, hassle-free crack detection whenever you need it.

FAQ

The recommended dwell time is typically between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the material temperature and the size of the defects you are looking for.

Yes, after applying the penetrant and cleaning the excess, a developer is required to draw the penetrant out of the defects and make them visible.

Yes, this is a water-washable formula, meaning excess penetrant on the surface can be removed with a water spray or damp cloth.

Yes, this penetrant is generally safe for use on aluminum, steel, and most other non-porous metals.

Standard penetrants work best between 40°F and 125°F (4°C - 52°C). Extreme cold or heat can affect the viscosity and sensitivity.

The surface must be completely clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, paint, or rust. Use a dedicated cleaner/remover before applying the penetrant.

As an aerosol product, it is pressurized and likely contains flammable propellants. Always keep away from open flames, sparks, and hot surfaces.

Yes, it can be used on non-porous ceramics to detect cracks, provided the surface texture allows for proper cleaning of excess dye.
