PFINDER 860 is a high-performance, hydrocarbon-free, water-washable red color contrast penetrant specifically formulated for non-destructive testing (NDT) in crack detection. Packaged in convenient 500-ml aerosol cans (12 cans per box), this product offers reliable results with minimal environmental impact. Notable for its high sensitivity and excellent removability, PFINDER 860 achieves bright, sharp indications with high contrast, making it ideal for applications requiring precision and clear interpretability.

PFINDER 860 is readily biodegradable, meeting ISO 9888 standards. This sustainability feature eliminates the need for wastewater treatment, allowing for safe disposal into the sewer system (pending local authority approval). Its low viscosity reduces penetrant consumption and optimizes product use, translating into significant cost savings for users. PFINDER 860 is used in industries like centrifugal casting, achieving up to 30% reduction in wet developer and dye penetrant consumption.

Key Features:

1. High Sensitivity and Contrast:

   • Provides bright, sharp indications for precise crack detection on metal surfaces. Suitable for general and specialized applications, including challenging surfaces.

2. Environmentally Friendly:

   • Hydrocarbon-free and readily biodegradable. Approved for direct discharge into the sewer system, eliminating the need for special wastewater treatment systems.

3. User-Friendly:

   • Easy to rinse with minimal background residue, enabling simple interpretability and clear test results. Practically odorless and free of aromatics and azo compounds, ensuring a safe working environment.

Specifications:

• Type: II (Color Contrast)
• Sensitivity Level: 2
• Packaging:
  • 500-ml aerosol spray can (360° application), also available in 5-liter and 200-liter containers
  • 12 aerosol cans per box
• Standards Compliance:
  • EN ISO 3452-2, 3452-5, 3452-6
  • VDA 236-150
  • ASTM E165, ASTM E1417, ASME V Art.6
  • PMUC approved
• Biodegradability: Readily biodegradable per ISO 9888 (Zahn-Wellens EMPA test, OECD 302 B)

Advantages:

• High Performance and Sensitivity: Achieves high-contrast, bright indications, even on complex surfaces, making it highly effective in accurate flaw detection.
• Cost Efficiency: Low viscosity formula minimizes product consumption, resulting in up to 30% reduction in developer and dye usage, saving costs in high-frequency applications.
• Sustainable and Safe: Readily biodegradable with moderate labeling, making it safe for users and the environment. The optimized CO2 balance in the aerosol can further reduces environmental impact.

Application Instructions:

1. Preparation: Clean and dry the surface to ensure it is free of contaminants.
2. Penetration: Apply PFINDER 860 and allow a 5-minute penetration time.
3. Removal: Use water to rinse excess penetrant, minimizing background.
4. Development: Apply the compatible PFINDER 871 developer for enhanced visibility and interpretation of test results.

PFINDER 860 is a reliable, cost-effective solution that combines performance with eco-friendliness, suitable for industries requiring precise, environmentally conscious NDT solutions.
