During the use of alkaline degreaser, a common and difficult problem is the generation of foam. This is mainly due to the surfactant component in the degreaser, which is easy to form a large amount of foam during operations such as stirring, spraying or immersing the workpiece in the degreasing liquid. At this time, the emergence of alkaline degreaser defoamer can effectively solve the foam problem.
The working principle of alkaline degreaser defoamer is based on its special molecular structure. Defoamer molecules usually contain lipophilic groups and hydrophilic groups. When the defoamer is added to the alkaline degreaser system containing foam, the lipophilic group will quickly adsorb to the liquid-gas interface of the foam.
At the same time, alkaline degreaser defoamer can also prevent the formation of new foam. During the continuous operation of the alkaline degreaser, the defoamer molecules are dispersed in the system and continue to intervene in the areas where foam may be generated, making it difficult for the surfactant to form a stable foam structure, thereby controlling the generation of foam from the root.
The presence of alkaline degreasing agent defoamer ensures that the alkaline degreasing agent can fully contact the oil stains on the metal surface. Without the interference of a large amount of foam, the degreasing agent can quickly wrap and decompose the oil stains, thereby greatly shortening the degreasing time and improving production efficiency.
In short, alkaline degreasing agent defoamer plays an indispensable role in the alkaline degreasing process. It improves degreasing efficiency, reduces costs and ensures degreasing quality by eliminating and controlling foam. When selecting a defoamer, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the compatibility, defoaming ability and durability, as well as alkali resistance, to ensure the degreasing effect in industrial production.
