Ultrasonic bath detergents
Our range of ultrasonic bath detergents is designed to meet all industrial needs, ensuring not only effective cleaning but also the protection and durability of treated components.
Teknox’s ultrasonic bath supply includes specific formulations for this type of cleaning: from low-alkalinity degreasing detergents suitable for all types of metals to alkaline decarbonising detergents ideal for maintaining engines and mechanical components with specific dirt and carbon residues.

Choosing the right cleaning fluid for an ultrasonic bath for maximum cavitation efficiency
Ultrasonic technology represents the pinnacle of precision cleaning, but its physical operation, based on the phenomenon of cavitation, requires fluids with precise physical and chemical characteristics. Simply immersing a component in hot water is not enough; an ultrasonic cleaner liquid is needed to reduce the fluid’s surface tension, allowing micro-bubbles generated by the transducers to implode with the right energy on the part’s surface.
A low-quality or non-specific ultrasonic cleaning solution can inhibit cavitation, making the investment in the machine nearly useless. Conversely, our solutions, like the CARK 211 and DECARB Light and Ultra series, are developed to enhance the mechanical effect of sound waves, penetrating blind holes, threads, and complex geometries where manual or spray action could never reach.
The choice of the correct ultrasonic cleaning detergent varies based on the material: acidic formulations for deoxidising, alkaline for heavy degreasing, or neutral for delicate materials.
Essential features of a professional ultrasonic bath detergent
When selecting an ultrasonic bath detergent, it is essential to analyse some chemical-physical properties that directly affect the productivity and safety of the work environment. Our products are formulated considering:
- Emulsifying capacity: the product must quickly separate the removed oil from the solution, allowing the tank’s oil-removal systems to work effectively and extending the plant’s useful life.
- Material compatibility: an aggressive ultrasonic cleaning fluid on stainless steel could irreparably damage light alloys like aluminium or yellow alloys.
- Foam absence: although less critical than spray washing, in ultrasonic cleaning (often followed by turbulent rinses), foam control is vital to avoid management problems and overflow.
Activation temperature: many of our ultrasonic cleaner detergents activate at low temperatures (from 50°C), allowing significant energy savings.
Ultrasonic cleaner solution for workshops, maintenance and automotive
In mechanical workshops and engine reconditioning departments, the challenges differ from precision parts production. Here, one encounters stubborn carbon residues, burnt oils, and deposits from years of usage. In this context, a high-alkalinity ultrasonic bath liquid is necessary.
Our line includes specific products capable of breaking down heavy sludge without affecting the dimensional tolerances of mechanical components. Special attention is given to the engine regeneration sector: our ultrasonic cleaner fluids (like the DECARB series) are formulated to remove combustion residues from cylinder heads, pistons, and valves, restoring aluminium and cast iron to their original appearance.
Ultrasonic bath detergents are a complex blend of surfactants and complexing agents that work in synergy with ultrasonic frequency to “unstick” the most tenacious dirt. Using these products drastically reduces labour time, eliminating the need for manual brushing and the use of solvents harmful to the operator’s health.
Why trust Teknox: technical advice and environmental respect
The choice of ultrasonic cleaning solutions is crucial to finding the right balance between washing elements and achieving the desired cleanliness level with minimal energy and environmental impact. An incorrect detergent can cause stains on parts, plant corrosion, or wastewater disposal issues.
Our technicians assess the nature of the contaminant, the type of material, the specific cleaning requirements, and local environmental regulations. Many of our detergents are designed to operate at reduced temperatures and to prolong the life of the equipment, thus reducing environmental impact and management costs.
We manage every aspect of ultrasonic cleaning detergents: from selecting the most suitable product for specific cleaning needs to its preparation, handling, and delivery to the customer, including tank filling and emptying operations for washing.
