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.

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
