Low Foam

Low foam characteristics are important in the majority of metalworking applications to ensure optimum performance. Whether low foaming emulsifiers for soluble oils or semi-synthetic fluids controlled foam lubricity additives in synthetic fluids and in metal cleaning and surface treatments.

 

Low foam surfactants provided by Lankem can be used to optimise the foaming potential of metalworking formulation by acting as low foam additives or helping control the foaming characteristics of other components present. These products are based on fatty alcohol alkoxylates, fatty acid esters, fatty acid ester ethoxylates, phosphate esters and EO/PO copolymers.
