Met-L-Chek — R-504 Cleaner / Remover (Flash Dry, 1 Gallon / 3.7 L)
Fast-Drying Cleaner for Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI) SKU: 29210-0001Overview
Met-L-Chek R-504 Cleaner / Remover is a high-performance, fast-drying solvent cleaner formulated for use in liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) processes. Designed with a flash-dry characteristic, R-504 quickly removes penetrant residues, oils, grease, and surface contaminants without leaving any residue, ensuring optimal inspection conditions.
Suitable for use in Method C (solvent removable) penetrant systems, this cleaner plays a critical role in both pre-cleaning surfaces and removing excess penetrant during inspection. Its rapid evaporation improves workflow efficiency by reducing drying time and allowing faster inspection turnaround.
Supplied in a 1-gallon (3.7 L) container, R-504 is ideal for industrial environments requiring bulk cleaning solutions, including aerospace, oil & gas, manufacturing, and maintenance applications.
