The MET-L-CHEK WCP-81 White Contrast Coating is a specially formulated, fast-drying white paint designed to enhance flaw visibility during visible magnetic particle inspection (MPI). This product is available in a convenient case of 12 aerosol cans, each containing 16 fluid ounces (400 ml).
When applied to the test surface, WCP-81 creates a uniform white background that dramatically increases the contrast of black magnetic particle indications (such as those produced by MET-L-CHEK MPI-80P and MPI-80). This enhanced contrast allows inspectors to more easily identify fine surface and near-surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials.
Once dry, the WCP-81 coating is resistant to the wet method baths commonly used in MPI, ensuring the contrast remains effective throughout the inspection process. Despite its durability during inspection, this contrast paint is easily removed from the demagnetized component surface with a suitable solvent cleaner, such as MET-L-CHEK R-504, simplifying the post-inspection cleanup.
Key Selling Points:
Enhances Flaw Visibility: Creates a high-contrast white background for clear indication detection with black magnetic particles.
Fast-Drying Formula: Increases inspection efficiency with rapid application and drying times.
Resistant to Wet Method Baths: Ensures the contrast coating remains intact during the inspection process.
Easy Post-Inspection Removal: Simplifies cleanup with readily available solvent cleaners.
Convenient Aerosol Application: Provides a uniform and easy-to-control coating.
Economical Bulk Supply: Case of 12 x 16 Oz (400 ml) cans for regular use.
Benefits:
Improved Detection of Fine Flaws: The high contrast makes even small discontinuities more visible.
Increased Inspection Throughput: The fast-drying formula speeds up the overall MPI process.
Maintains Contrast During Inspection: The coating's resistance to wet baths ensures consistent visibility.
Simplified Cleanup: Easy removal saves time and effort after inspection.
User-Friendly Application: Aerosol format allows for quick and even coverage.
Cost-Effective for Regular MPI: The 12-can case provides a practical and economical solution.
Applications:
Used as a contrast background in Visible Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI).
Ideal for inspecting ferrous materials for surface and near-surface flaws.
Suitable for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and more.
Enhances the detection of defects in welds, castings, and forgings when using black magnetic particles.
