The role of mineral oil defoamer

In industrial production, many processes will produce a large number of bubbles, which will affect production efficiency and even product quality. For example, in chemical production, the stirring process of the liquid will produce a large number of bubbles, affecting the reaction; in paint production, the spraying process of the paint is prone to produce bubbles, affecting the quality of the coating, so it is necessary to add defoamer to solve this complex problem.

Mineral oil defoamer are mainly composed of mineral oil and some surfactants. Mineral oil is a natural petroleum product with good lubricity and stability. It can effectively cover the surface of the liquid, reduce the surface tension, and prevent the formation of bubbles. Surfactants have the function of reducing the surface tension of the liquid, which can make the mineral oil better dispersed in the liquid and improve the defoaming effect.

Mineral oil defoamer have the characteristics of fast defoaming, high efficiency, continuous defoaming, and good economy; they can be dispersed in water to become an emulsion with moderate stability; they can be used under acidic and alkaline conditions; they are not based on silicone, so they are widely used.

In addition, because mineral oil defoamer have good lubrication properties, they can reduce friction, make the operation of mechanical equipment smoother, and extend the service life of the equipment. Therefore, in some mechanical processing industries, mineral oil defoamer can also play a good lubricating effect.

Mineral oil defoamer also have the advantages of being easy to use, safe and environmentally friendly. Its operation is simple, and it only needs to be added correctly according to the instructions. There is no need for complicated operating procedures, which greatly reduces the workload of operators. At the same time, mineral oil defoamer do not contain substances that are harmful to the environment, meet environmental protection standards, and will not cause any pollution to the environment, ensuring the safety of the ecological environment.
