FLUXO 3 – Black Magnetic Ink

FLUXO 3 is a concentrate of black magnetic particles suspended in a petroleum-based carrier fluid, designed for high-performance magnetic particle inspection (MPI). It ensures clear, sharp black indications under white light and provides excellent sensitivity for detecting surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. Its low sulphur and halogen content make it suitable for nuclear and critical industrial applications.
