8 Media (cleaning / rinsing solutions)
Only media with flashpoint of >= 12 °C are generally
permissible in the Elmasolvex
®
VA.
Observe the information concerning this in the safety data sheet
of the medium / solvent.
In the case of doubt, contact your authorised dealer or the
manufacturer.
Maximum one day's requirement of the solvents used is
permitted to be stored in the surroundings of the cleaning
machine at a minimum distance of 3 m from the cleaning
machine.
When selecting cleaning and rinsing media, pay attention to
their compatibility with the stainless steel (1.4301) ultrasonic
bath and other stainless steel small surfaces (1.4305, 1.4310,
1.4404) and the other materials of the cleaning machine coming
into contact with the media. The other plastic and elastomer
materials coming into contact with the media in vapour or liquid
form are:
• Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE)
• Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
• Polysulphone (PSU)
• Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS)
• Polyoxymethylene (POM)
• Polypropylene (PP)
• Polyamide 12 (PA 12) for the media tanks (until 07.2017)
• PVDF for the media tanks (from 08.2017)
• Polyethylene (PE)
• Peroxide or oxygen cross-linked EPDM and NBR for static
seals so that their swelling in aliphatic hydrocarbons is safe.
• FPM
• FFPM.
Also the activated carbons in the outlet filters.
Only media which are compatible in vapour or liquid form with
these materials can be considered for any application.
Also observe the safety instructions (e.g. goggles, gloves, risk
and safety statements) specified by the manufacturer or
supplier for handling the cleaning and rinsing media used.
In the case of doubt, contact the manufacturer or supplier.
