CANP301W-A - Water Washable Red Dye Penetrant Spray 16oz

High-Performance Water Washable Penetrant for NDT

The CANP301W-A Penetrant Dye is a professional-grade, water-washable visible dye designed for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications. Formulated to penetrate microscopic surface-breaking defects, this red dye provides high-contrast indications when used in conjunction with a suitable developer. Its water-washable nature significantly streamlines the inspection process by allowing the removal of excess surface penetrant with a simple water rinse, eliminating the need for solvent-soaked cloths or emulsifiers in many applications.

This 16oz aerosol can delivers a consistent, fine mist, ensuring complete coverage of the test area without waste. It is particularly effective for inspecting welds, castings, forgings, and machined parts for discontinuities such as cracks, laps, porosity, and seams. The penetrant is engineered to have excellent wetting properties, ensuring it enters even the tightest flaws within the dwell time. As a vital component of the liquid penetrant inspection process, it meets the rigorous demands of industrial quality control and maintenance environments.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Water Washable: Reduces inspection time and chemical costs by allowing direct water rinsing of excess penetrant.


• High Sensitivity: Vivid red color contrasts sharply with white developers to reveal minute defects.


• Versatile Application: Suitable for use on a wide range of non-porous materials including steel, aluminum, and ceramics.


• Convenient Packaging: 16oz aerosol format allows for portable, field-ready inspection without bulky equipment.

Ideal for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals and QA/QC inspectors, this product ensures reliability and safety by helping to identify potential failures before they become critical issues.
