Mi-Glow ®
Products for UV Light Inspection FLUORESCENT
The Mi-Glow ® products for UV light inspection consist of yellow-green fluorescent particles. This line of products uniquely offers two particle types. Particles from the 800 series are smaller to detect very fine discontinuities, while particles from the 900 series are slightly larger to detect medium-sized discontinuities. We offer products made from the 800 series, the 900 series and a blend of both particles. Our products for water-based systems are blended with water conditioning agents for excellent wettability, corrosion protection and low foaming properties.
