Magneta Flake
(96567)
Magneta Flake is the result of an extensive research programme carried
out into fingerprint powders and is the first powder to be developed specifically for
use with fingerprints. Magneta Flake consists of an iron powder milled and flaked
to optimum particle size and then ingeniously coated with amino acids to a
specific weight.
The production of this powder is highly complex but the result is a powder that has
proved to be highly effective on all surfaces including plastic surfaces, plastic bags,
metallic, wood and even brickwork. It can be used on paper and glass and
has been found not to prohibit subsequent ninhydrin or other chemical treatments.
