F18- Oil Based

PRODUCT DATA SHEET


Fluorescent Powder for Wet Method Magnetic Particle
Inspection
DESCRIPTION
ZChek F18 is a Dark Brown Colored Magnetic Particle Powder designed to be fluorescing
Bright Yellow- Green under UV Light. ZChek F18 consists of ultra-high sensitivity particles
for detection of very fine discontinuities in Ferromagnetic materials. Using the state-of-the-
art encapsulation technology, ZChek F18 is manufactured to exhibit excellent properties
(High permeability, low retentivity, high mobility and optimum particle distribution)
required for high sensitive fluorescent MPI process.

ZChek F18 is oil-based powder, hence it needs to be used with ZChek 801 Cart oil. How-
ever when added with suitable water conditioner WA9, ZChek F18 can also be used with
water as a carrying medium.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE


• Add F18 at 1 to 1.25 grams per litre. Run the pump for 15 minutes before testing.
• Check the concentration before use at least once each shift using centrifuge tube.
• Parts should be clean and dry prior to testing.
• The bath must be under continuous agitation.
• Using the wet continuous method, the bath is applied to all surfaces of the part. The
instant the bath stream is removed from the part, the magnetizing current is
applied.
