INSTASCAN COATING SYSTEM
Non-destructive Testing / Thermal Mapping
Instascan Coating System is a two-part coating system that will change color with changes in surface temperature originally developed for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of large area composite, laminated, and honeycomb structures.

Instascan Black Base Coating
Instascan Black Base Coating is a black water-based pigmented coating designed for use as an undercoat to enhance adhesion and intensify the thermal response (color change properties) of the liquid crystal coat, which is applied over it. Application can be by brushing, roller-coating or spraying using hand or automated equipment. Ideally, the coating should be applied uniformly to completely cover the test surface. It can be thinned by adding distilled water and mixing well. Removal can be accomplished easily by washing with water and mild detergents.
