1. Method A: Water-Washable
2. Method B: Post-Emulsifiable, Lipophilic
3. Method C: Solvent Removable
4. Method D: Post-Emulsifiable, Hydrophilic
Method C relies on a solvent cleaner to remove the penetrant from the part
being inspected. Method A has emulsifiers built into the penetrant liquid
that makes it possible to remove the excess penetrant with a simple water
wash. Method B and D penetrants require an additional processing step
where a separate emulsification agent is applied to make the excess
penetrant more removable with a water wash. Lipophilic emulsification
systems are oil-based materials that are supplied in ready-to-use form.
Hydrophilic systems are water-based and supplied as a concentrate that
must be diluted with water prior to use .
