Which cleaning products for ultrasonic cleaners?
Various cleaning agents are available for ultrasonic cleaners, including alkaline, neutral and acidic versions. Depending on the contamination and the type of material to be cleaned, different cleaning agents should be used.
What cannot be cleaned with ultrasound?
Not all materials are suitable for ultrasonic cleaning. These include, for example, wood, sensitive gemstones, painted surfaces, or textiles. These materials can be damaged by ultrasonic cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and, if in doubt, carry out a test to ensure that the items to be cleaned are suitable for the ultrasonic process.
How much cleaner is used in ultrasonic systems?
The ideal ratio between cleaning agent and water depends heavily on the type of product, material, and contamination. To guarantee optimal cleaning results, we at DST-CHEMICALS have developed the Pure Performance concept. Here we analyse your specific requirements and use them to produce a highly effective product. Our laboratory will inform you of the appropriate mixing ratio for your product. It is important to use the correct mixing ratio to achieve optimal results. For conventional cleaners, the mixing ratio can be found on the cleaner packaging.
There are also special ultrasonic cleaners for specific applications that do not require dilution with water.
