ZChek-801 – Carrier Oil for Wet Method MPI

ZChek-801 is a carrier oil for wet method MPI bath systems. Specially formulated to eliminate background fluorescence and keep magnetic particles in suspension, it is compatible with both fluorescent and non-fluorescent MPI powders across aerospace, oil and gas, and high-volume production inspection.

Wet method MPI relies on the carrier fluid as much as the particles it carries. ZChek-801 is specially formulated with highly refined additives to ensure consistent particle suspension and eliminate the natural fluorescence of the oil – which would otherwise mask indications and compromise test integrity. With a flash point above 93°C, low viscosity under 3 cSt, and good dispersion stability, it provides excellent bath coverage, reduced fire risk, and comfortable working conditions for operators in production and industrial environments.

Key features

  • No background fluorescence – will not mask indications
  • Consistent particle suspension and good dispersion stability
  • High flash point above 93°C – low fire risk, suitable for open inspection areas
  • Low viscosity (under 3 cSt) for superior wetting and surface coverage
  • Low odour – operator comfort in enclosed areas
  • Longer bath life with stable, effective particle mobility
  • Available in 30L pail and 205L drum
  • Shelf life: 5 years unopened

Typical applications

  • Carrier fluid for fluorescent wet method MPI (ZChek-F18, F18W, F9, F9W)
  • Carrier fluid for non-fluorescent wet method MPI aerosols (ZChek-9E Black)
  • Production wet bench MPI in aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and engineering
  • Any wet method MPI bath system requiring a compliant oil-based carrier vehicle
