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
