Background color for magnetic particle testing
In non-destructive material testing (NDT), black and white magnetic particle testing is an effective and widely used method for visualizing surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. It is not only the magnetic particle itself that is decisive, but above all the contrast to the test surface.
Background colors for black and white magnetic particle testing create this necessary background - for clear, easily visible crack indications.

What are background colors for magnetic particle testing?
Background paints are white pigmented, quick-drying paints that are applied to the test part. They serve as a visually uniform background for the subsequent application of black magnetic powder. The high contrast between the background and the particles significantly improves the display quality - especially on dark or irregular surfaces.
Advantages of PFINDER undercoat paint
The substrate paint for black and white magnetic particle testing from PFINDER offers numerous practical advantages:
- Fast drying - short waiting time between application and testing
- High opacity - even on dark or rough surfaces
- High contrast - for clearly recognizable crack indications
- Removability - easy to remove with PFINDER 890 cleaner
- Very good adhesion - adheres to almost all materials and surfaces
- Application temperature - can be applied and used in very cold conditions
- Safe to handle - free from secondary amines, nitrite and halogens
