INDIKAL I Red 1 kg

Scope of use: the agent is intended for defect (incompactness, crack) detection in metallic and nonmetallic materials, riveted joint tightness, rolling in of the tubes, soldering quality using the capillary method of colour indication.

Directions for use: at first, clean thoroughly the test object from mechanical impurities. It is not necessary to carry out complete degreasing. Apply sufficient amount of Indikal I (Red) on the cleaned surface of the test object using a brush or by submersion. Let it act for 5 to 10 minutes. During this period of time the layer may not dry out, thereby spread the surface over continuously. After 5 to 10 minutes, rub off the red fluid with a clean cloth and wipe off completely. Perform the rub-off and the wiping as quickly as possible so that the time between the rub-off and the white fluid application is as short as possible. Now, you may apply (using a brush, spray, soak) on the place in view a thin layer of Indikal II (White). If there are cracks in the object in view, they will come up on the surface after 2 to 3 minutes in the form of red lines or dots. The intensity of line colouring depends on the depth and the width of cracks. The latter caused by faulty steel quenching will show as a grain in the form of a mesh.
