MPI Diluent HF

MPI Diluent HF is a hydrocarbon fluid base specifically designed for dispersing magnetic particles in inks used for magnetic particle inspection (MPI). This vehicle is classified as Type 1 according to AMS 2641 standards. MPI Diluent HF is supplied in bulk and is commonly employed to create fluorescent magnetic inks when combined with Lumor® J dry powder. This combination enhances the visibility and sensitivity of detecting surface or near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials under ultraviolet radiation.
