A systematic approach to cleanliness | Cleaning factors: A number of factors have to be considered if ultrasonic cleaning is to be really effective. For instance, the material of the parts to be cleaned and the nature of the contamination determine which type of cleaning agent to use. pH value Environmentally friendly water-based cleaning agents are available as alkaline cleaners, neutral cleaners and acidic cleaners (pH value). The extent of the contamination and the type of cleaning agent dictate the temperature that is set and the duration of the cleaning process, while the persistence of...

O o ft oOc© o ccnp cffgPi Emulsifying cleaning agents: Cleaning chemicals containing emulsifying surfactants suspend hydrocarbons in the medium. A film of oil does not form on the bath surface. Advantage: No danger of re-contamination of the item to be cleaned, as it is not drawn through a film of oil when it is removed from the bath. Cleaning agents of this type are used predominantly for fine cleaning and satisfy stringent requirements. Disadvantage: The cleaning solution has a saturation point, which, when reached, results in re-contamination. Demulsifying cleaning agents: Cleaning chemicals...
