tracerite

Tracerite is a brand of fluorescent dye penetrant inspection materials. These products are used in non-destructive testing (NDT) to detect surface-breaking defects in various materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics. The process involves applying a liquid penetrant to the surface, which seeps into any cracks or voids. After excess penetrant is removed, a developer is applied, drawing the trapped penetrant out to make the indications visible under ultraviolet (UV) light. Tracerite penetrants are known for their sensitivity in detecting fine cracks and pores. The brand offers a range of products, including cleaners, penetrants, developers, and removers, designed to work together to achieve reliable inspection results. These materials are commonly employed in industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and maintenance where material integrity is critical. The effectiveness of Tracerite products relies on their ability to highlight discontinuities that might otherwise be missed by visual inspection.
