Met-L-Chek E-59 is a versatile and effective lipophilic emulsifier and solvent cleaner designed for use in fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) processes. Supplied in a large 55-gallon (208 liter) drum, E-59 offers an economical and high-volume solution for extensive FPI operations.
As a lipophilic emulsifier, E-59 is applied after the penetrant dwell time and works by interacting with the oily penetrant on the surface, making it water-washable. This controlled emulsification process is critical for achieving bright, clear indications of flaws without washing away penetrant that has seeped into discontinuities.
E-59 can also be used as an effective solvent cleaner for pre-cleaning test surfaces before penetrant application or for removing residual penetrant after inspection. Its formulation is designed to effectively dissolve oils, grease, and other contaminants that could interfere with the penetrant inspection process.
This product is known for its consistent performance and compatibility with a wide range of fluorescent penetrants. The 55-gallon drum is ideal for facilities with high usage rates, minimizing the need for frequent reordering and reducing overall operational costs.
