Metalworking fluids play a crucial role in the metal processing process, responsible for key functions such as lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, and cleaning. However, due to various factors, such as the role of surfactants, water quality problems and mechanical shearing during processing, a large number of foam are often produced in metalworking fluids. These foam not only affect processing efficiency, but also may cause damage to equipment and product quality. Therefore, the application of defoamers in metalworking fluids is particularly important.

1、 Efficient defoaming and improved processing efficiency

Defoamer of metalworking fluid can be quickly dispersed in the processing fluid, and the purpose of rapid defoaming can be achieved by reducing the surface tension and destroying the stability of foam. This feature significantly improves the efficiency and precision of metal processing, and reduces the downtime of equipment caused by the production of foam.

2、 Extend the service life of machining fluids

The use of defoamers can also extend the service life of metalworking fluids. The presence of foam will accelerate the deterioration of the processing fluid, resulting in an increase in the replacement frequency. Defoamers can effectively inhibit the production of foam, thus slowing down the deterioration rate of processing fluid and reducing production costs.

3、 Improve the working environment and enhance safety

The foam generated during metal processing is easy to splash, which not only pollutes the working environment, but also may cause safety hazards to operators. The application of defoamer can significantly reduce the production of foam, improve the working environment and reduce potential safety hazards.

4、 Superior environmental performance

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, green, non-toxic and harmless defoamers have become the mainstream in the market. Modern metal processing fluid defoamers usually use environmentally friendly raw materials, such as specially modified silicon, polyether, etc. These raw materials are compounded through special processes, with minimal environmental impact and in line with the concept of sustainable development.

5、 Strong adaptability and wide application

Metal processing fluid defoamers have a wide range of applicability and can maintain their defoaming effect in different temperature and pH ranges. This enables them to be applied to various metal processing processes, such as cutting, grinding, electroplating, etc.

In summary, metal processing fluid defoamers play an irreplaceable role in the metal processing process due to their high efficiency in defoaming, extended service life of processing fluids, improved working environment, superior environmental performance, and strong adaptability. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and increasingly strict environmental requirements, the application of defoamers in metalworking fluids will become more widespread, becoming an indispensable and important additive in the metalworking industry.
