Sherwin DP-40 Visible Dye Penetrant

Use DP-40 to locate cracks, laps, pores, lack of bonding, and similar surface flaws in any insoluble, nonporous substance including both ferrous and nonferrous metals, ceramics, glass and many plastics. Referred to as the “visible dye penetrant" method or "color contrast” method of inspection. DP-40 meets MIL-1-25135 and AMS-2644 requirements.

Special Features:

DP-40 Dye Penetrant is especially recommended for weldment inspection. It offers the following advantages.

1. Brings flaws info "sharper, clearer focus" with a more intense red color.
2. Performs more reliably over a greater range of temperatures.
3. DP-40 meets stringent low sulfur and chlorine specifications.
4. Long lasting flaw-mark indications; less fading.
5. Higher sensitivity, DP-40 finds more minute surface openings and enters flaws in greater volume.
