D-72A is approved by AMS-2644E, Boeing, GE, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and ISO- 3452-2005. It is low in Sulfur, Sodium, Chlorine, Fluorine and other Halogens, making it safe for use on Titanium and high Nickel alloys found in aerospace, medical and nuclear components.
D-72A has been demonstrated to work with red (Type 2) dye penetrants on rough castings for gross defect detection when applied by electrostatic spray, but this method is not addressed by current specifications.
