Green Gel U 45

Technical datasheet

General description

Green Gel U 45 is a water-based thixotropic green coupling gel that can be used in the temperature range -20°C / 120°C. It is composed by anti-corrosive so as not to affect the surfaces being tested. Suitable for use on various types of surfaces, smooth or uneven, it is also recommended for non-optimal situations, such as vertical and underhead inspections. Moreover, as it fluoresces under UV light, it is easy to detect and remove. The product is non-toxic to the skin, has no hazard labelling and is not harmful to the environment.

Hercules EX

Designed upon request of the military, Hercules is probably the most durable and shock-proof UV light in the world today, suitable for any “heavy duty” environment. It comes with explosion proof approvals and is tested to comply with ASTM E3022-18 and all PRIMES requirements, including Rolls-Royce RRES 90061 and Airbus AITM6-1001. Accidentally dropped it, kicked it, baked it in an oven, run it over by a tank? – it will still work! – The battery is inside the light; you don’t need to worry it got smashed like ordinary lights. Zero LEDs out from day of launch, 7 years ago! This unique light is battery powered and has four UV Leds that generate an intensity of 4000 µW/cm2.
