What is the function of metal surface cleaning and defoaming agents?

In industrial production, metal cleaning is an important process step to ensure the quality and performance of metal products. However, a large amount of foam may occur during the cleaning process, which affects the cleaning effect and production efficiency. In order to solve this problem, metal surface cleaning defoaming agent has become a key auxiliary agent, which can effectively reduce the generation and accumulation of foam and improve the cleaning effect.

Principle of action:

Metal surface cleaning defoamer is a special chemical agent that has the ability to inhibit and destroy foam formation. Its working principle mainly has two aspects:

1. Reduce surface tension: It can reduce the surface tension of the cleaning fluid, causing the foam to burst and collapse in the cleaning fluid. By adjusting the formula of the cleaning agent, the defoaming agent can be compatible with the cleaning fluid to reduce or eliminate foam.

2. Change the internal structure of the foam: It can penetrate into the interior of the foam and change the internal structure and stability of the foam. It can destroy the film-like structure of the foam and make the foam no longer stable, thereby reducing the generation and accumulation of foam.

Applications and effects:

1. Metal surface cleaning defoaming agents are usually added to the cleaning solution in liquid form to destroy and inhibit the formation of foam.

2. Improve the cleaning effect: The addition of defoaming agent can reduce the interference of foam, make the cleaning liquid better contact with the metal surface, improve the cleaning effect, better penetrate and dissolve dirt, and ensure the thorough cleaning of the metal surface.

3. Enhance production efficiency: The application of defoaming agents can effectively reduce the formation and accumulation of foam, and reduce the downtime and cleaning cycle of cleaning equipment. This will increase production efficiency and reduce energy consumption and costs.

4. Improve product quality: Helps reduce bubbles and residues in the cleaning solution and avoids the formation of pollutants and impurities on the metal surface. This improves product quality and performance, reducing returns and customer dissatisfaction.
