SonoGlide^® is a recommended for use in flaw detection on smooth surfaces such as boilers, aircraft, turbine rotors, tank cars, finished bar stock and machined forgings or in thickness gaging where a thin liquid film of ultrasonic couplant is desired. Two grades of SonoGlide are now available from Sonotech - SonoGlide FE for ferrous metals and SonoGlide UP for all other materials including food processing equipment. A superior replacement for propylene glycol and glycerine, SonoGlide is slow drying and will not harden on transducers. SonoGlide provides superior acoustic properties, an extended drying time, and excellent transducer lubrication at a broad temperature range.

SonoGlide^® FE remains stable on corroded or salt covered surfaces and is recommended for use with cast iron, plastics, steel and its alloys. SonoGlide FE was developed for ferrous metals where short-term corrosion is a concern. SonoGlide FE remains stable on corroded or salt covered surfaces and is useful for boiler inspections when salt cake is present. Corrosion Inhibition: There is low short-term corrosion potential with SonoGlide FE on cast iron, steel, and its alloys.

SonoGlide^® UP (Ultra Pure) is compatible with titanium, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, plastics, and many magnesium alloys. For use with food processing machinery and pharmaceutical manufacturing and storage equipment. SonoGlide UP should be used where low levels of Halogens and Sulfur are critical and/or where superior temperature range and very slow drying characteristics are desired.

SonoGlide UP reduces potential skin irritation caused by the ferrous corrosion inhibitor in SonoGlide FE.

SonoGlide UP grades 10, 20 and 40 have been tested and approved to:

• Hot corrosion testing on High Temperature Alloys AMS 5544 (Waspalloy), 5536 (Hastelloy X), 6359 (Ferrous based alloys), 4037 (Aluminum), 5608 (Haynes 188), 5508 (Greek Ascoloy) and 4375 (Magnesium), and has been tested for composite shear modulus, aircraft aluminum corrosion and composite adhesion.
• Pratt and Whitney PWA 36700/36604, MCL E-205 Type II, Stress Corrosion Cracking testing on Titanium Alloys or ASTM F945.
