Can vinyl records be dissolved by the cleaning fluid during the ultrasonic process?

There is nothing to worry about. Since the 1950s most vinyl records were made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) .

​PVC is one of the most resistant plastics and is chemically resistant to water, acids, bases, fats, and alcohols. One primary application of PVC is protective coatings against the environment and sewage pipes, i.e. the usual distilled water with wetting agent and/or alcohol mixtures used in vinyl record cleaning does not represent a challenge for your records. 

​Note, however, that pre-1950 records can be made from shellac coated metal discs. Shellac is a material that can be dissolved by alcohol, i.e. we recommend to stay away from distilled water/alcohol mixtures for shellacs cleaning.
