OVERVIEW

Professional NDT Developer for Critical Inspections

The Cantesco D101-A Developer is a premium non-aqueous wet developer designed for the rigorous demands of non-destructive testing (NDT). Formulated to work in conjunction with dye penetrants, this developer plays a crucial role in the liquid penetrant inspection process. Once the penetrant has been applied to the workpiece and the excess removed, the D101-A is sprayed onto the surface. It dries rapidly to form a uniform, bright white porous coating.

This white layer acts as a blotter, drawing the entrapped penetrant out of surface-breaking discontinuities such as cracks, laps, and porosity through capillary action. The result is a vivid indication of the defect against the white background, providing excellent contrast for easy visual inspection. This high-sensitivity formulation ensures that even minute flaws are detected, helping to maintain the structural integrity and safety of welded components, castings, and forgings.

Engineered for industrial reliability, the Cantesco D101-A is suitable for use on a wide range of materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and ceramics. The 16 oz aerosol format allows for convenient, portable application in the field or the workshop, ensuring consistent coverage without the need for bulky equipment. It is an indispensable component for quality control professionals and welding inspectors adhering to strict NDT standards.
