ARDROX 907PB
ARDROX 907PB
Visual Red Dye Aerosol Process
DESCRIPTION A907PB aero/01173
Packed in aerosols, the Ardrox 907PB process provides an effective portable method of flaw
detection. These products do not contain chlorinated solvents and are particularly low in
chloride and sulphur contaminants.
It consists of:-
Ardrox 907PB
Red Dye Penetrant
Ardrox 9PR50C
Precleaner and Penetrant Remover
Ardrox 9D1B
Developer
The process conforms to AMS 2644 Type II Methods A and C, and complies with ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code.
These products exceed international laws regarding ozone depleting substances and comply
with Australian and New Zealand legislation regarding aerosol products.
USES
The Ardrox 907PB Flaw Detection Process is used as a local inspection method to find cracks,
porosity and similar surface discontinuties in all types of metals, ceramics and certain
plastics. It has wide uses in the general engineering industry.
Where large structures are encountered Ardrox 907PB may be more easily used as a water
washable penetrant and excess penetrant removed with water.
METHOD OF USE
Essentially the process consists of the following stages:-
1. Ensure that the surface to be inspected is free from rust, scale, carbon, paint, oil or
grease. Clean the area to be inspected with Ardrox 9PR50C.
2. Apply Ardrox 907PB to the area to be inspected and allow the penetrant to remain on
the surface for 10-30 minutes. Remove as much as possible of the excess penetrant by
wiping with a clean cloth or tissue. Remove the remaining excess penetrant with a cloth
or tissue moistened with Ardrox 9PR50C or water.
3. Spray a thin even film of Ardrox 9D1B onto the surface and leave for 10 minutes.
4. Inspect for defects in daylight or good artificial light. Cracks, folds or cold shuts are
revealed as red lines and porosity as a series of dots.
EFFECTS ON MATERIALS
The process is safe to use on all metals. Some plastics may be degraded by the solvents and
this should be checked before use where such materials are likely to be encountered.
PRECAUTIONS
In aerosol the products are classified as flammable compressed gases and must be used
under conditions of good ventilation to maintain the vapours below the lower explosive limit
(L.E.L.). In confined areas some form of forced ventilation is recommended. Smoking should
not be allowed when using the process. The normal precautions associated with aerosols
should be observed.
PLEASE REFER TO OUR MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS BEFORE USE.

As Welding current is affected by the length of your leads due to Voltage Drop it is important that the correct cable
size is used for your welding application. The table below can be used as a guide to determine the required cable size
for your welding application.
