Met-L-Chek E-59A Cleaner / Remover - 5 Gallon (18.9 Liters)

Ensure pristine surfaces and accurate results in your Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI) processes with this 5-gallon (18.9 Liters) container of Met-L-Chek E-59A Cleaner/Remover. This high-quality, non-halogenated, Method C inspection penetrant remover is an indispensable solvent for both pre-inspection surface preparation and efficient removal of excess penetrant, ensuring reliable and sensitive NDT flaw detection.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dual Purpose Functionality: Met-L-Chek E-59A serves as both an effective pre-cleaner for removing dirt, grease, and contaminants from test surfaces before penetrant application, and as a penetrant remover for efficiently wiping away excess penetrant after the dwell time.

• Method C (Solvent Removable): Designed for use in Method C (solvent removable) penetrant systems. For penetrant removal, it is typically applied to a lint-free cloth and then wiped from the surface, ensuring the penetrant in discontinuities remains undisturbed.

• Non-Halogenated, Class 2: This formulation is free of halogens, making it safe for use on a wide range of materials, including critical alloys found in aerospace, nuclear, and medical components (e.g., titanium and high-nickel alloys).

• Moderate Dry Rate: E-59A has a moderate evaporation rate, providing sufficient working time without excessive residue, crucial for efficient inspection workflows.

• Compliant with Industry Standards: Meets the stringent requirements of AMS-2644, AMS-2647, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section V, ASTM E-165, ASTM E-1417, and ISO-3452, ensuring its suitability for certified inspection procedures.

• Bulk Quantity for Industrial Use: The 5-gallon (18.9 L) pail is ideal for high-volume inspection facilities, large fabrication shops, or extended field projects, offering cost-effectiveness and reducing the frequency of reordering.

• Clear Liquid, No Fluorescence: Provides a clear background for both visible and fluorescent penetrant inspections.

• Manufacturer: Met-L-Chek – a trusted name in NDT consumables, known for quality and reliability.
