ANTIFOAM 17

METALWORKING FLUID ADDITIVE

 

ANTIFOAM 17 is an antifoaming/defoaming agent for aqueous metalworking fluids and aqueous cleaners.

 

OPERATIONS:

 

Add ANTIFOAM 17 to CIMCOOL® metalworking fluid mixes as recommended by CIMCOOL® Technical Services. Use in mix when foam is a problem.

 

A typical use would be to temporarily control foam in a new charge (fresh mix). Typically, as metalworking fluid mixes age they become less foamy.

 

APPLICATION:

 

For the recommended dilution range (see below). Shake or stir prior to using.

 

ANTIFOAM 17 can be used with soluble oil, semisynthetic, or synthetic mixes.

 

Pour ANTIFOAM 17 directly into the “clean” side of central filtration system where contamination is the lowest to maximize effectiveness.
