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.
