Met-L-Chek — FBP-913 Fluorescent Penetrant Level 3 (Oil & Solvent Free, 5 Gallon / 18.9 L)
High-Sensitivity Fluorescent Penetrant for Liquid Penetrant Inspection SKU: 29080-0005Overview
Met-L-Chek FBP-913 is a high-sensitivity Level 3 fluorescent penetrant formulated for liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) applications requiring maximum defect detection capability. Designed as an oil- and solvent-free formulation, FBP-913 provides enhanced safety, reduced environmental impact, and excellent inspection performance.
Under UV-A (black light), the penetrant produces bright, high-contrast fluorescent indications, allowing detection of extremely fine surface-breaking defects such as cracks, porosity, and laps. Its optimized formulation ensures excellent penetration characteristics and easy removal, supporting consistent and reliable inspection results.
Supplied in a 5-gallon (18.9 L) container, FBP-913 is ideal for high-volume industrial applications in aerospace, manufacturing, oil & gas, and maintenance environments where high sensitivity and compliance are critical.
