5.2 Sonication liquid

A solution made from water and a special ultrasound agent is used 

as the sonication liquid. Drinking water or demineralised water can 

be used for the water.
Water without any additives is unsuitable for sonication. Use of 

demineralised water without an ultrasound agent leads to 

increased erosion of the ultrasonic oscillating tank.
The ultrasound product used must be cavitation-conducive, biode-

gradable, easy to dispose of, gentle to materials and long-lasting.
Observe the information on dosing provided by the ultrasound 

agent manufacturer.
You can calculate the quantities yourself, analogously to the fol-

lowing example.
10 l ready-to-use solution, 2.5%.

5.3 Sonication time

NOTICE

Risk of damage to the goods to be treated

Excessively long sonication can damage the surface of the goods to 

be treated.

– Select a short sonication time where possible.

The ideal sonication time depends on several factors:

• Type and concentration of agent

• Working temperature of sonication fluid

10 l × 2,5 % = 0,25 l

100 %

10 l - 0,25 l = 9,75 l
