Material compatibility of 3D scanning sprays
What many users underestimate: These sprays usually contain solvents that can cause serious damage to certain materials. Plastics such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PS (polystyrene) or 1K paints are particularly affected by the use of alcohol-based sprays. If used incorrectly, there is a risk of milky clouding, cracking or the detachment of coatings – defects that can destroy a component or render it worthless.
The issue is by no means limited to individual product lines. Rather, it is a technical challenge that affects all solvent-based scanning sprays, regardless of the manufacturer.
Penetrant testing, colored or fluorescent?
At MR Chemie, we offer numerous alternatives with our wide range of product families for many applications, whether colored or fluorescent.
“Contrasts” – choosing the right contrast paint for the Magnetic Particle Daylight Inspection
The main criterion for deciding to use a background color is usually insufficient contrast formation between the workpiece surface to be tested and the magnetic particles in the test equipment used. However, as is often the case in NDT, it is precisely these contrasts that enable us to reliably evaluate our tests. So what else is there to say about contrast paint? Quite a lot!
Reflecon TopoTrack – 2 in 1 Scanningspray
The Reflecon TopoTrack 2in1 scanning spray was developed to significantly minimise the process time of a 3D scan. The process time is not only reduced by eliminating the need to stick on and remove reference points, but also because you can guide your scanner over the object much faster.
Safe working
There are many aspects such as storage, handling (including transportation if necessary), but also the disposal of test equipment. Safety data sheets must also first be understood in order to ensure safe handling of test equipment. Ideally, it is better tob e safe than sorry.
