Non-Destructive Testing for the Aerospace and General Industries

Chemetall is your one-stop supplier of approved NDT products for all industry sectors. Whenever you need to perform liquid penetrant or magnetic particle testing, we can offer you the optimum products and processes, combined and enhanced by expert service and specialized NDT equipment.

Specialty chemistry, metal, surface technology – these are the “roots” of Chemetall. A distinctive feature lies in our global orientation coupled with closeness to our customers. So it was logical for us to become involved very early in non-destructive material testing, i.e. PT and MT.

 

The ABC of NDT: Our brands

Chemetall’s proven, high-performance Ardrox® chemicals for NDT in the aerospace industry have been specifically developed to meet the demanding requirements of the international aerospace and military quality standards. But the high quality of the available NDT products and services has also convinced the automobile industry and its component supplier market, general industry and all areas of energy generation and transportation. Our Britemor®, Checkmor®, Lumor® and Supramor® products have been customized to fulfill the requirements of those markets and hold all major approvals, too.

 

Our tradition: technological and ecological innovations

Competence grows with experience! Chemetall knows and has been solving the challenges in non-destructive material testing for more than 60 years now. The first Ardrox® product was approved as early as in the year 1948. Many innovative products have followed since then; for instance, Chemetall was one of the first companies to introduce azo-dye-free products. Chemetall is also one of the pioneers in the use of NPE-free penetrants.

The new generation of our ARDROX® fluorescent penetrants for the aerospace industry continues this innovative tradition. These new-generation eco-friendly products are low in odour and characterised by a high wetting ability, can be easily washed off and have excellent sensitivity and background characteristics.

 

Penetrant testing and magnetic particle testing for aerospace and general industry

Our PT product range is represented by the renowned ARDROX®, Britemor® and Checkmor® brands with the following product groups:

  • fluorescent/water-washable penetrants (oil-based, surfactant-based and water-based)
