ANTIFOAM WS 1
Description
ANTIFOAM WS 1 is a sophisticated mixture of inorganic compounds and solvent carriers designed to harden water. If used to treat the water used for water-miscible cutting fluids, a de-foaming effect is achieved. ANTIFOAM WS 1 is free of nitrites and nitrates. ANTIFOAM WS 1 is also free of organic and inorganic silicone compounds.
Application
To suppress the foaming of water-miscible cutting fluids, add in accordance to the hardness of the water. Adding 0.01 % corresponds to a hardening of 0.18 mmol/l (= 17.5 ppm CaCO3) In general, water hardnesses of over 350 ppm CaCO3 should be avoided. ANTIFOAM WS 1 is suitable for both synthetic and mineral oil-based products. ANTIFOAM WS 1 should be added directly without prior dilution.
Benefits
- ANTIFOAM WS 1 displays favourable permeability in filtering equipment and thus resists being dragged-out in paper filters
- spontaneous foam reduction
- rapid distribution and sustainable impact
Storage conditions
If sealed in the original container ANTIFOAM WS 1 can be stored up to 1 year at temperatures between 5 to + 40 °C.
