Antifoams for water miscible MWF

In our regional competence centers we are able to finetune the properties of antifoams such as compatibility and efficiency (function of surface activity) to meet your specific requirements. Long term stability of antifoams in metal working fluid formulations must be achieved in order to minimize the addition of tank side antifoams.

Antifoams of our Lubricant Additives segment exhibit extraordinary stability and filterability, thus providing excellent long term antifoaming properties and leading to major cost savings. Whereas organic antifoams exhibit excellent compatibility and moderate efficiency, silicone oil-based antifoams offer high efficiency with often poor compatibility.

Our specialty antifoams based on organomodified siloxanes provide the best of the two before mentioned technologies - high compatibility combined with excellent performance. As an example, organomodified siloxane-based antifoams do not cause overpaintability problems which are typical for silicone oil-containing antifoams.
