Met-L-Chek — R-504 Cleaner / Remover (Flash Dry, 12 × 16 oz / 400 ml)
Fast-Drying Cleaner for Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI) SKU: 29209-0001Overview
Met-L-Chek R-504 Cleaner / Remover is a high-performance, fast-drying solvent cleaner designed for use in liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) processes. Formulated with a flash-dry characteristic, R-504 quickly removes excess penetrant, oil, grease, and contaminants from test surfaces without leaving residue, ensuring optimal inspection conditions.
Suitable for use in Method C (solvent removable) penetrant systems, R-504 plays a critical role in preparing surfaces prior to inspection and in removing excess penetrant during the process. Its rapid evaporation minimizes downtime and improves workflow efficiency, making it ideal for high-volume inspection environments.
Packaged as a case of 12 aerosol cans (16 oz / 400 ml each), R-504 is widely used across industries such as aerospace, oil & gas, and manufacturing where clean, residue-free surfaces are essential for accurate defect detection.
