What types of metals can I clean with Alkaline Metal Cleaner?
Ultramax SOD is suitable for most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and brass. Its balanced alkaline formulation ensures effective degreasing without etching or corroding metal surfaces when used as directed. Always test on sensitive metals before large-scale use.
Can I use alkaline cleaner in my ultrasonic bath safely?
Yes. Ultramax SOD is specifically designed for ultrasonic and immersion cleaning systems. It’s low-foaming and contains biodegradable surfactants, making it ideal for use in enclosed systems like ultrasonic tanks. It improves ultrasonic cavitation by cutting through oils, carbon, and machining residues more effectively than water or weaker degreasers.
How do I dilute Ultramax SOD for different cleaning tasks?
For light cleaning or maintenance degreasing, dilute Ultramax SOD at 1:100 with water. For heavy grease, carbon build-up, or machinery refurbishment, a stronger dilution of 1:50 is recommended. Always follow the dilution guidelines on the label and adjust based on the level of contamination.
Is metal degreaser safe for use on plastic or rubber components?
Yes, when diluted correctly, Ultramax SOD is safe on most plastics and rubber seals commonly used in industrial settings. However, for delicate components or unknown material compatibility, we recommend testing a small area first or consulting your equipment manufacturer.
What makes alkaline metal degreaser different from regular degreasers?
Ultramax SOD is formulated with high-strength alkaline ingredients and non-foaming surfactants specifically for ultrasonic action. Unlike manual or spray-on degreasers, it reaches into microscopic crevices and complex geometries, lifting away deep-set grime and residues without abrasive scrubbing. It also offers excellent rinseability and is REACH-compliant for professional use.
