8.1
Limitations of use of cleaners containing
solvents
Never use flammable liquids or solvents directly in an ultrasonic
cleaning tank. Risk of fire and explosion!
Ultrasound increases the volume of vaporisation of liquids and
creates a very fine mist that can catch fire on any ignition
source at any time.
Do
not
fill potentially explosive substances and flammable
solvents
•
marked in compliance with the EEC directives by symbols
and safety warnings R 1 to R 9
•
or E, F+, F, O or R 10, R 11 or R 12 for flammable
substances
into the stainless steel tank for ultrasonic treatment.
In compliance with the general regulations on the protection of
labour, certain limited volumes of flammable liquids (max. 1
litre) can be used in an ultrasonic cleaning unit under the
following conditions: these liquids must be filled into a suitable
separate vessel (e.g. beaker) with sufficient ventilation; this
vessel (beaker) can then be put into the stainless steel tank
which is filled with non-flammable liquid (water with a few drops
of surfactant).
