Met-L-Chek — E-57 Emulsifier (55 gal / 208 L)
Post-Emulsifiable Penetrant System Emulsifier for LPI Applications (Price per Gallon) SKU: 29045-0055Overview
The Met-L-Chek E-57 Emulsifier is a high-performance component used in post-emulsifiable liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) systems. Designed to work with oil-based penetrants, this emulsifier enables controlled removal of excess penetrant from the inspection surface, ensuring clear and accurate defect indications.
Formulated for reliable and consistent performance, E-57 allows precise control over emulsification time, helping inspectors achieve optimal sensitivity and contrast. This is critical in applications requiring detection of fine surface-breaking discontinuities such as cracks, porosity, and laps.
Supplied in a 55-gallon (208-liter) container and priced per gallon, this product is ideal for high-volume industrial use in aerospace, oil & gas, and manufacturing environments.
