Spotcheck SKD-S2 Solvent Developer

We use this for enhancing hard to 3D scan objects. Read about the 3D Scanning Case Study here.

SPOTCHECK® SKD-S2 is a fast-drying, solvent-based developer that is used for enhancing indications that are seen during dye penetrant inspection. The product works by leaving a thin matt white film of inorganic pigments on the component being inspected. This then draws the penetrant back out of any surface-breaking defects and spreads it out on the surface so that it can be easily seen by an inspector. After inspection, SKD-S2 can be easily removed by wiping with a cloth or by washing with water and detergent.

Magnaflux EMEAR was aware of other companies that had successfully used SKD-S2 as a matting spray, particularly in relation to 3D photography and imaging, and suggested this as a potential alternative.
