5.2.  

Bath fluids 

 

Caution: 

No liability for use of other bath fluids! 
Do not use flammable bath fluids! 
 

Water:  The quality of water depends on local conditions.  

  Due to the high concentration of lime, hard water is not suitable for 

temperature control because it leads to calcification in the bath. 

  Ferrous water can cause corrosion - even on stainless steel. 

  Chloric water can cause pitting corrosion. 

  Distilled and deionized water is unsuitable. Their special properties cause 

corrosion in the bath, even in stainless steel.  

Recommended bath fluids:  

 

Bath fluid 

Temperature range 

 

soft/decalcified water 

   5 °C to 80 °C
