Ultrasonic Cleaning Solutions As ultrasonic cleaning technology was developed, it was discovered that if surface tension is reduced, cavitation levels increase. Ultrasonic cleaning solutions used with ultrasonic cleaning machines contain ingredients specially designed to increase the effectiveness of the process. These are called surfactants and they lower the surface tension of water. General-Use Soap Solutions 1-Gallon OmegaClean […]

Introduction There are many types of ultrasonic cleaning detergents and solutions. Finding the correct detergent is key to cleaning dirt and grime adequately without damaging the part. A couple of variables play a key role in determining which type of solution you should use. Below, we will investigate not only the science behind these detergents […]

What are ultrasonic waves? Ultrasonic cleaner waves are sound waves transmitted above 20,000 Hz (20 kHz or 20,000 cycles per second), or higher than the frequency detectable by humans. Sound waves are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air molecules around it to vibrate. These vibrations cause our eardrums to vibrate, […]
