Goodson Tools & Supplies for Engine Builders has expanded its options for dry magnetic inspection with the addition of high-visibility green fluorescent magnetic powder.

According to Chris Jensen, Goodson Tech Services, “Fluorescent crack detection powder has been around for years, but what sets this powder apart from the others is how bright it is, even under normal lighting conditions. Put a black light on this powder and cracks just pop.”

This American-made fluorescent powder is available in 1-, 5- and 25-pound containers from Goodson.

For more information, contact the company at 1-800-533-8010 or 1-507-452-1830 or visit www.goodson.com.
