Dual-Use Fingerprint Powder

The Lynn Peavey Dual-Use Fingerprint Powder is a forensic consumable designed for crime scene investigators and latent print examiners. It comes in a 2oz container identified by part number 5511. The powder is formulated to provide contrast on a wide variety of surface colors encountered during evidence processing.

Color-changing contrast on mixed surfaces

The single specification that determines suitability is the powder’s dual-color behavior. On light backgrounds the powder appears black, while on dark backgrounds it presents as a silvery gray. This property allows a single product to develop visible ridge detail across multi-colored surfaces without switching between separate black and white powders.

Consistent adhesion during extended dusting

Under sustained use the powder maintains its electrostatic adherence and color-shift performance across repeated applications. It does not clump or lose contrast when worked over large or irregular areas, so examiners can process extensive evidence sections without the development quality degrading mid-session.
