Met-L-Chek® FBP-913 is a premium Level 3 fluorescent penetrant, now available in a convenient 5-gallon (18.9 liter) container, ideal for medium to high volume users requiring exceptional sensitivity. This specialized formulation is oil and solvent-free, utilizing biodegradable components and being VOC-free, making it an environmentally conscious choice without compromising performance.
Approved to AMS-2644 as a fluorescent penetrant (Type 1), and suitable for both Method A (Water Washable) and Method C (Solvent Removable) application, FBP-913 is engineered for critical, high-sensitivity inspections, particularly in aerospace and other demanding applications. It excels at revealing the finest surface-breaking flaws, such as tight cracks, porosity, and through leaks, on a wide range of non-porous materials including metals, composites, and certain plastics.
This Level 3 penetrant produces exceptionally bright, yellow-green fluorescent indications under UV-A (black) light, ensuring maximum contrast and detectability of even minute defects. Its oil and solvent-free composition also allows for easy and clean removal, especially from intricate surfaces, while being safe for use on all metal alloys.
