Removable surface sprays are helpful for coating surfaces that are highly reflective or very black. Then can also aid in marking the area to measure.

• Back to Surface Coating for LASER Scanning
• Back to VTube-LASER

• Inexpensive
• Does not cause an allergic reaction like the flux types below.
• Much less messy than alcohol and powder.
• Cleaning with a wipe is easy.
• Is not as dense as Magnaflux or Dynaflux. Thick coating is not necessary. The goal of the spray is to break the reflectivity - for which a complete covering is not necessary.
• Consistent levels of coating, however, is preferred. Magnaflux and Dynaflux (see below) excel in consistency.

• This is our least-preferred solution.
• Inexpensive
• You control the mixture.
• Does not cause an allergic reaction like the flux types below.
• The alcohol evaporates quickly.
• Is more messy than other solutions because it tends to drip.
• It is hard to keep the mixture correct.
• The end result is often an inconsistent coat.
• Cleaning with a wipe is easy.

Magnaflux Spotcheck SKD-S2 Developer

• Works well
• Very expensive compared to Dynaflux ($50 to $75 per can)
• For applications that require cleaning, the corresponding cleaner is SKC-S
• May cause an allergic reaction in the skin of some operators

Dynaflux DF315-16 Crack Check D-F Developer

• Works well
• DF315-16 Flammable Nuclear grade uses non-chlorinated solvent
• DNF315-16 Non-flammable Standard grade
• Very inexpensive ($5 per can)
• For applications that require cleaning, the corresponding cleaner uses the same Dynaflux part number.
• May cause an allergic reaction in the skin of some operators

CerMark LMM6000 Laser Marking Spray

• This spray is used in additive laser bonding processes.
• Works well as it is not as messy as foot powder.
• Drys like paint - but washes off with water.
• Very expensive ($75 per can)
