A highly-sensitive water-based liquid concentrate for nonfluorescent (visible) wet method magnetic particle testing to locate fine and medium discontinuities on finished parts. WB-27 provides clear, strong indications due to the heavy buildup of the highly magnetic particles. It is often used with WCP-2 white contrast paint to improve contrast and inspection sensitivity.
