SKU CH-X458-KT4A6

  • Fast-drying layout fluid cuts marking time
  • Permanent opaque blue resists chipping and flaking
  • Works on light and dark metals without show-through
  • Brush-cap bottle gives controlled application on parts
  • Flash point 24 °F for safer shop handling

Purpose & Audience

Dykem 81478 is an opaque staining fluid designed for permanent identification marks on metal components, assemblies, finished goods and tools. It suits machinists, maintenance technicians and inventory managers who need durable layout lines or colour coding that withstand handling and shop conditions.

Build & Daily Use

The 8 fl oz liquid ships in a brush-cap bottle that allows direct application without extra tools. Fast-drying opaque blue ink adheres to both light and dark tinted metals while resisting chipping, flaking, scaling and cracking during routine shop use.

Deciding Specification

Flash point is 24 degrees F, so the fluid is highly flammable and requires strict fire-safe storage and ventilation. Buyers who cannot meet those safety requirements should select a different marking method.
