After reading that the ultrasound damages/could damage the rubber and teflon sealing gaskets in the airbrush, I dropped the idea of getting one and just clean them the old way.

@dragonlanceHR Could you post a link to this info? It sounds dubious as US cleaners are used for delicate medical equipment, jewellery etc so I'm intrigued, but seeing as I put my H&S, Iwata and newly delivered Olympos Micron through one of these regularly I would like to know. I asked a materials technologist at one of my clients about US damaging Teflon and her response  was "you're confusing Teflon with potato crisps" and walked off grinning!

 

Edit: Found this from a cleaning material company about PTFE (Teflon) that suggests Teflon is OK  with Ultrasound.

 

That said many of us here, use ultra sonic cleaners so this tidbit may be significant.

 

@paparomeu2017 The answer to your question is yes, we do use them and the're called ultra sonic, ultrasound refers to a medical procedure used in scanning unborn babies and the like.

Good Morning
the cleaning of the airbrush in all sessions can be done in the ultrasound does not damage the airbrush?

Hi Andrew,

I have been using an ultrasonic cleaner to clean my airbrushes for about 9 years with no problems. No damage to the o-rings or metal parts at all.

Cheers,

Julian
