About this equipment

New three-can visible dye penetrant kit from a Glasgow company that supplies stainless-steel finishing and testing products. It holds one aerosol each of Ardrox 996PB red dye penetrant, Ardrox 9PR5 solvent cleaner and remover, and Ardrox 9D1B developer, which together cover pre-cleaning, penetration, excess removal and development in a standard colour-contrast test. The seller notes that the formulations are low in halides, so they can be used on stainless steel, and that the kit works on all metals, including critical weld areas where surface cracks are a concern. Delivery to the UK mainland is free, and local agents serve Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
