Multiple Choice

Which is an advantage of dry developer?

Dry developer creates high-contrast, persistent indications. The fine powder sits on the surface after excess penetrant is removed and helps pull penetrant out of any discontinuities, producing bright, well-defined indications that stay visible for longer. This lasting visibility is especially useful if inspection is delayed or repeated. The other statements don’t fit how dry developer works: it isn’t chosen for easier removal, it isn’t about strong surface adhesion as an advantage, and it does not require extra solvents to develop.
