Mi-Glow 418 from Circle Systems is a high-performance, water-based fluorescent magnetic particle inspection (MPI) powder, conveniently packaged in a 2 lb. jar. This advanced product utilizes the latest generation Mi-Glow 800 and Mi-Glow 920 particles, renowned for their exceptional sensitivity, uniform size, and ideal magnetic characteristics.  

Specifically formulated for use in water media, Mi-Glow 418 is premixed with a borate-free Wetting Agent #34. This innovative wetting agent offers excellent wetting characteristics, superior, long-term corrosion inhibition for steel and cast iron, and incomparable defoaming properties, ensuring a reliable and efficient MPI process. The borate-free formulation also helps to alleviate potential health and safety concerns associated with borate-containing chemistries.  

Mi-Glow 418 exhibits high fluorescence, producing bright yellow-green indications under UV-A light, making it ideal for detecting fine to large discontinuities in critical components such as forgings, castings, welds, and other high-volume applications. Its low foaming and minimal background fluorescence contribute to clear and easily interpretable indications, even on components with surface irregularities. The consistent particle size further enhances sensitivity and resolution.  

Notably, Mi-Glow 418 can be effectively used in darkened inspection areas as well as in dual response environments utilizing a combination of visible and UV-A light, offering versatility for various inspection setups. Circle Systems' unique bonding method ensures total particle encapsulation, eliminating free unbonded pigment and resulting in a high-performing MPI powder with low background noise.
