Ardrox® 8901W (Aerosol) is a fast-drying white paint formulated for use in the color contrast method of magnetic particle inspection. It creates a dense white background that enhances the visibility of black or red defect indications. Ardrox® 8901W (Aerosol) is suitable for use with both oil-based and water-based magnetic inks and performs best when paired with color contrast magnetic inks like Ardrox® 800/3 or 8032.

Applications

Ardrox® 8901W can be applied to the area to be inspected by spraying.

It is essential that aerosols are shaken before use. Surface temperature should be between 0 and 50°C (30-120°F).

Ardrox® 8901W is applied to dark colored ferromagnetic surfaces and allowed to dry before applying the magnetic particles. This ensures a good color contrast between the white paint and the red or black particles making it much easier for the inspector to identify and interpret the indications.

Ardrox® 8901W is used extensively in conjunction with Ardrox® 800/3 or 8032 ink in aerosols particularly for the in-situ inspection of welded fabrications or structures, pressure vessels and pipelines.

Ardrox® 8901W can then be left on the surface or removed with an appropriate Ardrox® solvent cleaner, for instance Ardrox® 5319.

Effects on Materials

When Ardrox® 8901W is used in the prescribed manner, no significant corrosion will occur on ferrous materials.
