Unlock Superior Flaw Detection with Met-L-Chek® E-57 Lipophilic Emulsifier
Met-L-Chek® E-57 is a high-performance Method B (lipophilic) emulsifier meticulously engineered to optimize your fluorescent penetrant inspection process. This crucial component, approved to AMS-2644, ensures the reliable removal of excess surface penetrant, leading to clearer and more defined indications of surface flaws.
Specifically designed for use with Met-L-Chek® FP-93A(M), FP-95A(M), and FP-97A(M) fluorescent penetrants, E-57 guarantees a compatible and effective system for critical non-destructive testing. Its carefully formulated composition ensures optimal interaction with the penetrant during the emulsification stage, making the oily residue water-washable for thorough removal.
This clear, pink to reddish-orange liquid boasts a low halogen content (sulfur < 250 ppm, chlorine < 250 ppm), making it safe for use on a wide range of sensitive materials, including titanium and high nickel alloys. With a flash point exceeding 200°F (93°C), it meets stringent safety regulations for open tank applications.
