SOUNDSAFE® ULTRASONIC COUPLANT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Soundsafe® offers a high performance couplant for use in overhead, vertical and
horizontal applications where environmental concerns are a primary consideration.
TEMPERATURE OPERATING RANGE
0๐  to 200๐F (-18๐ to 93๐C)
BENEFITS
·       Environmentally benign  formula
·       Increased acoustic impedance for reduced surface noise
·       Good surface wetting capability
·       Gel viscosity holds on most overhead and vertical surfaces
·       Corrosion inhibiting system for ferrous based materials
TYPICAL PROPERTIES (at ambient temperature)
Typical Properties	Soundsafe®
Viscosity	~80,000 cps (Brookfield Helipath Spindle E @ 1.5 rpm)
Velocity	1.60 to 1.65 mm/µsec
Acoustic Impedance	1.70 to 1.75 MRayls

SAFETY
Non-flammable and non-irritating. Contains no heavy metals, harsh surfactants, glycol ethers, nitrites,
silicones, dyes or fragrances.
REMOVAL
Water-soluble; easily removed with water.
ACOUSTIC TRANSMISSION
Optimal transmission requires that an ultrasonic couplant have no air bubbles that can reflect, scatter
and attenuate sound waves. Sonotech’s unique processing eliminates couplant air bubbles.
CORROSION INHIBITION
Soundsafe®  contains a corrosion inhibitor for ferrous metals with a relative effectiveness rating of 75
and is compatible with most composites and metals. Ferrous Corrosion Characteristics Chart
