EchoMix® POWDER COUPLANT - Economical Powdered Ultrasonic Couplant - 5 gal / 20 liter Packet
EchoMix® is a cost-effective, powdered ultrasonic couplant designed to be mixed with water at the inspection site. This 5-gallon / 20-liter packet provides a larger quantity for users who require more couplant, offering an economical solution for travel, remote inspections, and storage limitations.
Simply mix the powder with ambient water to create a strong, continuous coupling film that adheres well to vertical and overhead surfaces. EchoMix® is easy to remove with water and offers good performance for ultrasonic testing within its recommended temperature range.
Key Benefits:
Economical: Powder form reduces shipping costs and storage space.
Easy Mixing: Quickly dissolves in ambient water.
Good Coupling: Provides a strong and continuous film for effective signal transmission.
Salt Stable: Will not thin with corrosion salts or in marine or highway environments.
Easy Removal: Cleans up quickly with water.
Low Toxicity and Environmental Impact: A safer choice for users and the environment.
Compact for Shipping and Storage: Powder form is lightweight and takes up less space.
