Cleaning Detergents / Concentrates

Ultrasonic cleaning is one of the most effective methods for removing dirt, grease, and residues from a wide range of materials. However, the cleaning power of ultrasound is significantly enhanced when combined with the right detergent.
At ASONIC, we have developed a full range of professional ultrasonic cleaning concentrates, each tailored to a specific cleaning challenge. Whether you are working with delicate jewelry, sensitive electronics, medical instruments, or heavily contaminated industrial parts, the right solution makes all the difference.
Our cleaning concentrates are formulated for maximum efficiency, material safety, and ease of use. They not only speed up the cleaning process but also extend the life of your parts and equipment by removing residues thoroughly and safely. Below is an overview of our most popular ultrasonic cleaning detergents and their recommended applications.

General Guidance

For best results with ultrasonic cleaning detergents:

• Adjust concentration and bath temperature to match the contamination and material type.
• Always test compatibility on sensitive or coated materials before full-scale cleaning.
• Rinse thoroughly (preferably with clean or deionized water) and ensure complete drying to avoid corrosion.
• When cleaning electronics: verify wash-compatibility, remove flux and ionic residues, and dry fully to prevent failures.
