So I was finishing cleaning chips the other day with the ultrasonic, using TSP of course. Shortly after I was done, my friend came over who happens to be part owner of a chemical factory that produces chemicals. Pretty experienced in cleaning solutions and noticed I was using TSP. His first statement was, “let me see some of those chips, I bet you anything you kind of bleached them a little and they have a little fade to them after that ultrasonic bath.” That was obviously true before I ever reached to grab one and show them to him since I’d already cleaned thousands of chips.
He immediately goes on to recommend I use a chemical called sodium percarbonate, the main ingredient in OxyClean. Says it’s not harmful to the color of whatever it cleans, no bleaching effect and also intensifies the colors rather than dulls them. I’m going to be testing OxyClean in the ultrasonic and come back with results comparing them side by side in the best lighting possible. It’ll help me determine if what he said holds true when cleaning chips. If it does, I’ll be asking him to bring me a jug of it in its purest form rather than OxyClean.
Just figured I’d share that bit of into and that it’ll be fun to compare both results side by side. Not sure if anybody has tried it yet in the ultrasonic cleaner. If you have, post your feedback and results here. Thank you in advance.
