This article provides a clear and practical overview of the most important ultrasonic concentrates and shows you which cleaning agent is truly suitable for which area of application. Because the more intensively you engage with ultrasonic cleaning, the clearer it becomes that the device alone does not determine the result. Rather, it is the combination of technology and the right concentrate that determines how thorough, gentle, and efficient the cleaning process turns out to be.

Whether in the household, in the workshop, or for technical applications – different materials and contaminants pose unique requirements. The wrong concentrate can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult or even worsen the result. The right choice, on the other hand, ensures that deposits are specifically dissolved, surfaces remain protected, and you achieve a better result with significantly less effort.

That is exactly why it is worth knowing the differences and consciously choosing the appropriate concentrate. In this article, you will learn which concentrates make sense for which applications, what you should pay attention to when choosing, and how you can optimally utilize the full potential of your ultrasonic cleaning.

• Everyday objects such as keys, coins, or small accessories
• Kitchen and bathroom utensils with light to medium soiling

Especially with objects that are used regularly, it quickly becomes clear how effective uniform and material-friendly cleaning can be.

The great advantage of a universal cleaner lies in its versatility. You have a concentrate on hand that works reliably in a wide variety of situations without you having to rethink which agent is the right one every time.

It is therefore the ideal solution for anyone who wants to use ultrasonic cleaning in a simple, efficient, and everyday-friendly way.

This approach shows its strength, especially in the household and with regular use. You create a solid base for clean results and can expand to specialized concentrates at any time if needed as requirements increase.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate - EM-600 Intensive Cleaner – for heavy soiling

As soon as stubborn residues can no longer be dissolved with a simple cleaning, a concentrate that works much more powerfully is needed. That is exactly what our EM-600 Intensive Cleaner was developed for. It is used whenever grease, oil, pigments, wax, or other firmly adhering deposits represent the actual challenge and normal cleaning reaches its limits.

Especially in the technical or trade sector, contaminants arise that build up over a long period of time and work their way deep into surfaces, gaps, or moving structures. These include, for example, oily tools from the workshop, metal components with old lubricant residues, garden tools with resinous residues, or machine components on which dirt has settled layer by layer. Even with parts that regularly come into contact with grease, dust, and fine particles, it quickly becomes apparent that water or a mild concentrate alone is often no longer sufficient.

This is precisely where our EM-600 Intensive Cleaner shows its strength. It was developed to specifically dissolve heavy soiling and to clean effectively even where residues have already significantly hardened. This applies not only to classic tools but also to heavily used metal parts, technical components, or components from garden and machine applications.

Typical areas of application include, for example:

• Tools with oil and grease residues
• Metal parts with firmly adhering deposits
• Heavily soiled components from the workshop or technology
• Garden and machine components with resinous or dried-on residues

The cleaner is particularly effective in removing:

• Grease
• Oil
• Pigments
• Wax
• Stubborn deposits

When cleaning should not just be superficial, but really deep-acting, a stronger concentrate is often the deciding difference. That is exactly why our EM-600 Intensive Cleaner is particularly suitable for applications where classic cleaning removes visible dirt, but the actual problem remains in the details.

It is always the right choice when contaminants should not just be lightly loosened, but consistently removed.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate - EM-300 Special Metal Cleaner – for technology and the workshop

When it comes to cleaning metal parts that are exposed to daily load, friction, and dirt, simple cleaning is often not enough. Our EM-300 Special Metal Cleaner was developed specifically for these demanding applications. It is designed to work reliably even where stubborn residues have formed over a long period of time.

Especially in the workshop or technical sector, materials like stainless steel or various metal alloys are used, which may appear robust, but react extremely sensitively to deposits in their function. Oil, grease, metal abrasion, or fine particles preferably settle in gaps, bearings, or on surfaces and influence the precision and smoothness of the components there.

Typical areas of application are:

• Stainless steel components
• Ball bearings and moving metal parts
• Technical components with tight tolerances
• Tools and mechanical connections

The difference is particularly clear with components that are in motion. A ball bearing that is not completely cleaned runs noticeably harder. A thread with deposits no longer engages cleanly. Even the smallest residues can impair function here over time. Our EM-300 Special Metal Cleaner starts exactly at this point. It specifically dissolves grease and dirt deposits without attacking the surface. In combination with ultrasonic cleaning, even hard-to-reach areas are reached, so that even internal residues are reliably removed.

The result is not just a clean component, but a noticeably improved function.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate - EM-404 Aluminum and Die-Cast Cleaner – for sensitive light metals

Aluminum and die-cast are materials that are indispensable in many technical applications while at the same time reacting particularly sensitively to the wrong type of cleaning. Their surface is softer, reacts faster to chemical influences, and can suffer permanent damage if inappropriate cleaning methods are used. That is precisely why a specially coordinated approach is crucial here.

What still works without problems with robust steel can already lead to visible changes with aluminum. In everyday life, this is particularly evident in components that should not only be visually clean but must also function technically flawlessly. These include, for example, carburetors, engine parts, or precisely manufactured aluminum components, where even the smallest deposits can influence performance.

Typical areas of application are:

• Carburetors and finely structured components
• Engine parts made of aluminum or die-cast
• Light metal components in the automotive sector
• Technical parts with sensitive surfaces

Especially with carburetors, it becomes clear how important the right cleaning is. Deposits on the inside can impair the fuel flow, which has a direct effect on the engine's running behavior. At the same time, the surface must not be attacked, otherwise the fit suffers.

Our EM-404 Aluminum and Die-Cast Cleaner was developed for exactly these requirements. It specifically removes:

• Grease and oil deposits
• Flash rust
• Polishing agent residues
• Fine contaminants from hard-to-reach areas

The focus is always on material-friendly cleaning. The structure of the surface is preserved while even stubborn residues are reliably dissolved. This concentrate is therefore particularly relevant for everyone working in the field of vintage cars, motorcycles, or general technology. Here, it is not just about cleanliness, but about maintaining function, precision, and value.

Because in the end, it is not just important that a component is clean, but that it continues to work exactly as it was originally intended.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate - EM-100 Deoxidation Concentrate – for oxidation and discoloration

Metal surfaces change over time. What initially appears shiny, clear, and high-quality slowly loses its radiance due to air, moisture, and everyday influences. Especially with copper, brass, bronze, or precious metals, these processes often manifest in the form of tarnish, oxidation marks, or dull discoloration. The material itself is not necessarily damaged, but the surface looks visibly aged and often significantly less well-maintained.

This is precisely where our EM-100 Deoxidation Concentrate comes in. It was developed to specifically dissolve oxide and sulfide layers and to bring metals back closer to their original state. This is not only about optical enhancement but also about maintaining high-quality surfaces that could be unnecessarily stressed by incorrect cleaning.

The concentrate is particularly suitable for:

• Copper
• Brass
• Bronze
• Precious metals

Its effect is primarily seen where fine discoloration, tarnish, or typical oxidation marks impair the appearance. The great advantage is that it does not just clean, but specifically dissolves those layers that are responsible for the loss of shine and clarity.

This makes this concentrate particularly interesting for pieces of jewelry, decorative metal objects, high-quality surfaces, and technical components where optics and material condition play an equal role. It can also be very valuable in the vintage car sector when brass or copper elements should appear clean and well-maintained again without being treated unnecessarily aggressively.

Especially with metals that develop their own patina over years or decades, a controlled and material-conscious approach is crucial.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate - EM-700 Non-Ferrous Metal Cleaner – for fine metalwork

When it comes to delicate metal parts, not only is cleaning power important, but above all the sensitivity of the concentrate used. Our EM-700 Non-Ferrous Metal Cleaner is precisely tailored to these requirements. It is particularly suitable for sensitive metals and components where surface structure, detail accuracy, and material preservation play an important role.

Typical areas of application are:

• Jewelry
• Watch parts
• Brass and copper parts

Especially in these areas, strong cleaning alone is not enough. Much more important is that the surface is preserved and the material is not unnecessarily stressed. Jewelry, for example, should not only become clean but continue to look delicate, high-quality, and well-maintained. For watch parts or small metal components, precision also counts, because even the smallest residues can impair the effect or the appearance.

Our EM-700 therefore cleans particularly gently and is designed to reliably clean sensitive metals without attacking their surface. The result is cleaning that does not intervene roughly, but works delicately and preserves the character of the material. Especially with small, high-quality metalwork, the difference often lies not in the strength of the cleaning, but in its care.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate - EM-202 Instrument Cleaner – against limescale and rust

Not every type of contamination is greasy or organic. In many cases, it is mineral deposits that cause problems. Limescale, rust, and metal oxides accumulate gradually, alter surfaces, and impair function over time. Especially in areas where water, moisture, or mineral residues are handled regularly, such deposits often form unnoticed.

Our EM-202 Instrument Cleaner was developed specifically for this type of challenge. It effectively removes:

• Limescale
• Rust
• Metal oxides

It is suitable for materials and areas of application such as:

• Stainless steel
• Glass
• Plastic
• Workshop and household applications

This makes it particularly versatile. In the household, it can be useful wherever mineral residues build up due to water and usage. In the workshop, it assists in the cleaning of parts suffering from moisture, oxidation, or traces of rust. Even more sensitive combinations of stainless steel, glass, or plastic benefit from residues being specifically dissolved without unnecessarily straining the material.

This concentrate is especially valuable whenever surfaces do not look dirty but are nonetheless losing function or clarity. In such cases, mineral deposits are often the actual cause. What may look like nothing more than a matte finish or a slight coating on the outside can already make a technical difference.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate EM-200 Disinfectant Cleaner – for hygienic applications

With some cleaning tasks, it is not just about removing visible residues. In sensitive areas, hygienic safety is also a primary concern. Our EM-200 Disinfectant Cleaner therefore focuses not only on cleanliness but on a significantly higher level of hygiene.

It is effective against:

• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Fungi

Typical areas of application are:

• Instruments
• Sensitive applications
• Areas with high hygiene requirements

This concentrate is suitable wherever cleaning must achieve more than mere surface care. Especially for instruments or in environments with increased hygiene needs, it is crucial that not only are deposits removed, but hygienic standards are also addressed.

The difference here lies in the objective: While many cleaners are designed for dirt and residues, our EM-200 combines cleaning and disinfection in a hygienically sensitive context. This concentrate is ideal wherever cleanliness also implies safety. Especially for users who value a particularly clean and simultaneously controlled cleaning result, this cleaner can play an important role.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate EM-060 Dental Cleaner – for sensitive and precise applications

There are materials and items for which cleaning must be particularly finely tuned. Excessive aggressiveness would be out of place here, yet even small and stubborn residues must be removed reliably. Our EM-060 Dental Cleaner was developed for exactly these types of applications.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Braces
• Dentures
• Glass and porcelain

It can remove, among other things:

• Plaster residues
• Cement
• Fine deposits

The strength of this concentrate is particularly evident when dealing with intricate or sensitive materials. Residues that have settled in small areas can be specifically dissolved without unnecessarily straining the surface. This is especially important for precisely crafted items where fit, material structure, and gentle handling play a special role.

Our EM-060 therefore stands for cleaning that does not function through sheer force, but through accuracy. Particularly delicate materials benefit from cleaners that work not only effectively but also in a controlled manner.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate EM-303 Circuit Board Cleaner – for electronics

Electronic components impose their own unique requirements on cleaning. Here, it is not just about visible cleanliness, but about removing residues precisely without affecting sensitive technology. Our EM-303 Circuit Board Cleaner is tailored to exactly this sensitive area.

It is suitable for:

• Circuit boards
• Electronic components
• Contacts

It specifically removes:

• Resins
• Fluxes
• Oils

Especially in electronics, it is crucial that no aggressive residues remain after cleaning. Because what might be unproblematic for robust metal parts can quickly become critical for sensitive contacts or fine electronic structures. Our EM-303 was therefore designed to clean effectively while addressing the needs of sensitive technology.

This makes it a specialist for all applications where precision and material compatibility must go hand in hand. Whether for technical components, contacts, or fine electronic parts – what counts here is not strength alone, but the safety of the entire cleaning result.

EMAG Ultrasonic Cleaner Concentrate EM-007 Special Concentrate – for particularly stubborn cases

Some types of contamination cannot be satisfactorily removed with an all-rounder or a mild special cleaner. When residues are particularly heavy, set in, or technically demanding, a concentrate developed specifically for such tasks is required. Our EM-007 Special Cleaner is used whenever normal cleaning reaches its limits.

Typical applications are:

• Ball bearings
• Stainless steel parts
• Brass
• Heavily used metal parts

Especially in technical or heavily loaded areas, deposits form that build up over long periods and become particularly stubborn. Here, the issue is no longer just light contamination, but demanding cleaning tasks that require reliable performance.

Our EM-007 is therefore the right choice when components are subjected to more intensive stress and residues need to be removed more than just superficially.

This makes it particularly interesting for technical applications, workshop areas, and anywhere metal parts are permanently under load and must be cleaned thoroughly accordingly. Where cleaning needs to be not just good, but truly thorough, is where this concentrate begins to play its part.
