Elmasonic Ultrasonic Cleaner 800 0131 Universal Alkaline Degreaser

Description

Product Overview

The Elmasonic 800 0131 Universal Alkaline Degreaser is engineered as a high‑performance ultrasonic cleaning solution that meets the rigorous demands of industrial and laboratory applications. Formulated with an alkaline base, this concentrate delivers powerful solvent action capable of breaking down oil, grease, wax, soot, and a broad spectrum of organic contaminants. The product is supplied in a compact 12.6 × 11 × 10.8 inch container weighing 27.6 lb, making it easy to store and handle in busy workshop environments. Its universal formulation means a single chemical can be used across a wide variety of substrates, including engine parts, metals, glass, ceramics, plastics, and rubber, eliminating the need for multiple specialized cleaners. The fluid is compatible with standard ultrasonic cleaning equipment, such as the Elmasonic 800 series ultrasonic tanks, and can be diluted to a working concentration of 1‑5 % with water, providing flexibility for light or heavy‑duty cleaning cycles. The product carries the Elma brand reputation for quality and reliability, and its ASIN B072FP1FWN confirms its presence in the global marketplace. With a Best Sellers Rank of #55 in Lab Ultrasonic Cleaner Solutions, the Elmasonic 800 0131 has earned a solid reputation among professionals seeking consistent, repeatable cleaning results.

Usage

Designed for both industrial and scientific settings, this alkaline degreaser excels in environments where heavy contamination is common. Typical use cases include cleaning engine components after machining, removing coolant residues from metal tooling, and preparing glass or ceramic parts for further processing. The solution is also effective for cleaning plastic and rubber components that are sensitive to harsh acidic cleaners, making it a versatile choice for manufacturers of medical devices, automotive parts, and electronic assemblies. Users dilute the concentrate according to the level of soil load: a 1 % solution for light cleaning of delicate parts, and up to a 5 % solution for heavily soiled metal surfaces. The diluted solution is then introduced into an ultrasonic bath, where high‑frequency sound waves generate microscopic cavitation bubbles that implode against the part surfaces, mechanically dislodging contaminants while the alkaline chemistry softens and emulsifies oils and greases. After the cleaning cycle, parts are rinsed with de‑ionized water to remove any residual cleaning agent, then dried using compressed air or a low‑temperature oven. The product’s low‑foam formulation ensures that ultrasonic transducers operate efficiently without excessive foaming, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance downtime.

FAQ

What dilution ratio should I use for heavily soiled metal parts?

For heavily soiled metal components, a 5 % dilution (5 ml concentrate per 100 ml water) provides strong cleaning power while maintaining material safety.

Is the degreaser safe for use on plastic components?

Yes, the alkaline base is compatible with most engineering plastics. We recommend testing a small area first if the plastic is known to be sensitive.

Can I use this product in a standard ultrasonic bath without modification?

Absolutely. The low‑foam formulation is designed for direct use in standard ultrasonic cleaning tanks without any equipment modifications.

How should I dispose of the used cleaning solution?

Because the formula is biodegradable and free of hazardous solvents, it can be disposed of according to local wastewater regulations. Always consult your facility’s environmental guidelines.

What temperature range is optimal for cleaning with this degreaser?

Optimal cleaning temperatures range from 30 °C to 60 °C. Higher temperatures increase cleaning efficiency but should be matched to the material’s heat tolerance.
