Why add defoamer when industrial cleaning?
Steel is widely used in industrial production due to its high strength, good plasticity, good process performance and easy processing. However, during the processing of steel, it is easy to produce oxide layers, rust, etc., which reduce the quality of the metal. Therefore, some steel cleaning processes are required. Steel cleaning mainly includes laser cleaning, pickling cleaning, and grinding and cleaning with grinder tools. However, there will be a lot of foam in the steel cleaning process. If these foams are not eliminated in time, it will affect the cleaning process and effect. Therefore, many people choose to use industrial cleaning and metal industrial cleaning defoamer to solve the foam.
The reason for the foaming of steel cleaning is mainly related to the surface active substances in the cleaning agent. Due to the foaming characteristics of the surface active substances of the steel, it is easy to cause a large amount of foam; during the cleaning process, impurities such as chemical solvents, oil stains and other impurities remaining on the surface of the steel react chemically with the cleaning agent, which is one of the reasons for the generation of foam; The effect of ambient temperature and the effect of pH changes during cleaning can also cause a large amount of foam to be generated.
These foams need to be eliminated by adding antifoam in time, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on the progress and process of steel cleaning. Without defoamer, the cleaning efficiency will be reduced, resulting in excessive cleaning costs; a large amount of foam will overflow the steel cleaning system, which will not only cause the surrounding environment to be polluted, but also cause a lot of foam to remain on the surface of the steel, seriously affecting the cleaning effect; Foam residue on the steel surface requires a lot of water to wash, which also leads to a waste of water resources.
The metal industrial cleaning defoamer developed and produced by RISE chemical has excellent defoaming and anti-foaming ability, and has the following characteristics:
1. The metalworking fluid defoamer agent has the characteristics of fast defoaming speed and long foam suppression time, and the defoaming agent can quickly eliminate a large amount of foam in the cleaning process.
2. The metalworking fluid defoamer agent has good water solubility and dispersibility, and it does not bleed oil or separate out when added to steel cleaning.
3. The defoamer antifoam is resistant to high temperature, acid and alkali, and has a wide range of applications.
3. The basic system of cleaning will not be changed.
