Surface Spray

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

Foot Spray - Preferred Solution

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.

Baby Powder in Alcohol with Spray Bottle

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

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

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

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)
