INSTRUCTIONS:
(These describe the basic process, but they may need to be amended by
the user to comply with applicable specifications and/or inspection
criteria provided by the contracting agency).
1. Application: Apply HM-430 only to clean, dry surfaces by
spraying, flowing, brushing or dipping.
2. Dwell-Time: A 10 minute dwell time is suggested, although in
many cases five minutes will suffice. When particularly tight cracks are
suspected, or the part is especially critical, the dwell time may be
extended to 30 minutes, or longer. Do not soak the part. To increase
sensitivity, as well as conserve material, allow the penetrant to drain
from the part surface back into the penetrant tank.
3. Removal: Use a quick, ambient temperature water wash at tap
pressure to rinse HM-430 from the part surface. To avoid washing
entrapped penetrant from surface flaws, do not use high water pressures
and temperatures, or prolonged washing and scrubbing.
4. Drying: A recirculating oven set no higher than 160°F (71°C)
is suggested. Leave part in oven just long enough to evaporate surface
moisture. Drying is improved by using pressurized air to disperse and
remove as much excess water as possible before placing part in oven.
5. Developing: HM-430 is self developing. Nevertheless it is
recommended to use a developer as listed above.
6. Inspection: Inspect parts under appropriate UV-A radiation and
dimmed visible light, in accordance with ISO 3059-2001 standard.
HEALTH AND SAFETY: refer to MSDS.
