ZP-9F
Solvent Based Developer

ZP-9F is a non-aqueous developer made of organic particles, used often in aerosol cans. It produces a fast-drying, opaque white coating and contrasting background for fluorescent and visible penetrant inspections.

It is typically used for a wide variety of testing materials such as welds, castings, forgings, leak testing, pressure vessels, aircraft, marine, construction, maintenance, petroleum pipelines, power plant components, and general metalwork in automotive, off-highway equipment and farm equipment.
​
ZP-9F is listed on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List.

Increases indication visibility

• Improves indication detection by creating an optimal surface for penetrant indication formation
• Bright white, opaque coverage blocks all underlying surface color and quickly draws penetrant to the surface for stronger, clearer indications

Application versatility

• Can be used with a variety of Type 2 and Type 1 penetrants in many different situations without measuring or diluting
• ISO 3452 conformance allows SKD-S2 to be used to inspect a wide range of parts

Faster cleaning

• Reduces inspection process time by minimizing post-inspection cleaning
• Easy-to-apply formula goes on cleanly, dries quickly and promotes faster indication formation to shave time off each step of the inspection process
