Detection film IX series

radiographicfor printed circuit boardsfor the electronics industry

Overview
Fujifilm IX-Film industrial X-ray films are developed for non-destructive testing (NDT) across a wide range of materials and radiation sources. Advanced emulsion formulation and computerized manufacturing provide consistent batch-to-batch performance and compatibility with standard NDT chemistries and manual or automatic processing.

Models and applications
IX20

• Applications: micro-electronic parts, neutron radiography, ultra-fine ceramics, precision castings, graphite composite parts

Features
Single-emulsion, ultra-fine grain, medium-high contrast film suitable for high-resolution direct exposures or use with lead screens.

IX25

• Applications: micro-electronics, fine ceramics, low-to-medium Z castings, high-contrast inspections, high-output supervoltage exposures

Features
Ultra-fine grain, very high contrast ASTM special film; recommended for automated processing and applications requiring maximum sharpness.

IX30

• Applications: pipe welds, electronic components, aerospace components, nuclear plants, low-to-medium Z castings

Features
Ultra-fine grain, very high contrast ASTM Class I film suitable for X-ray, gamma or megavolt equipment; used in direct exposure techniques or with lead screens.

IX50 / IX50XD

• Applications: electronic parts, graphite-epoxy composites, light-metal castings, aerospace components (XD)

Features
Fine to ultra-fine grain, high contrast; XD variants balance high resolution with medium-to-high speed for aerospace and electronics inspections.

IX80 / IX80XD

• Applications: welds and castings (low-to-medium Z), aircraft construction and maintenance, graphite composites

Features
Extremely fine grain, high contrast ASTM Class I films for detecting minute defects across a wide exposure latitude; XD variants optimized for automated workflows.

IX100 / IX100XD

• Applications: welds and castings (medium-to-high Z), aircraft construction and maintenance, ordnance inspection

Features
Very fine grain, high contrast films with wide exposure latitude; standard reference type (IX100) and higher-speed XD alternatives for thick or high-density specimens.

IX150

• Applications: heavy multi-thickness steel parts, steel-reinforced concrete, low-output X-ray and low-curie isotope exposures

Features
High-speed, fine-grain ASTM Class III film suited to thick specimens and low-activity sources; useful when high-activity gamma sources are unavailable.

IX29 / IX59

• Applications: multi-thickness castings and precision cast parts

Features
Medium to medium-high contrast films (W-A / W-B classes) designed for a broad range of thicknesses and cast-metal inspections.

Packaging
Sheet options: interleaved, non-interleaved, Envelopak, Envelopak+Pb. Roll options: 70 mm and 100 mm widths in dispenser boxes; roll-pack variants available depending on film type.

Advantages

• Fine granularity for detection of small defects
• Consistent batch-to-batch performance for reliable exposure control
• Even density and discrimination characteristics across variants
