Technical Data Sheet

Emulsifiers  

ER-85 is a lipophilic emulsifier used in the inspection penetrant process to remove excess surface penetrant. ER-85 is a Method B emulsifier. It does not require a pre wash step and is used at full strength. It meets the requirements for low sulfur, low halogen, and low-sodium.

Technical Data Sheet

ER-83A is a hydrophilic emulsifier used diluted with water to emulsify Sherwin’s non-water washable penetrants. ER-83A removes surface, non-water washable penetrants by spray or immersion. It complies with low sulfur, low halogen, and low-sodium requirements.
