In the metalworking field, high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-speed processing conditions have become the norm. What follows is the frequent foam problem in cutting fluid systems. This stubborn foam not only overflows from the tank, making the working environment slippery and causing waste, but also seriously interferes with the normal circulation of the coolant, leading to uneven tool cooling and reduced lubrication, which directly affects the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of the machined parts. Long-term foam problems also accelerate the deterioration of the cutting fluid, shorten its service life, and increase overall production costs.
The market urgently needs an efficient defoaming solution that can withstand high temperature and strong mechanical shear and remain stably compatible with various cutting fluid systems. Chemi Tech has analyzed this core need in depth and, drawing on its professional experience in chemical research and development, has introduced a highly targeted defoamer dedicated to high-temperature cutting fluids. With a specially designed molecular structure, the product offers excellent high-temperature resistance and dispersion stability and can continue to perform effectively under harsh machining environments.
Our solution is clear and direct. The first step is precise diagnosis: by analyzing the customer's cutting fluid type, machining process, water quality, and system parameters, we determine the root cause of foam generation. The second step is customized addition: we recommend a suitable Chemi Tech defoamer model and dosage, and it is usually advised to add it directly when the system is being replenished or circulating, ensuring thorough mixing. The third step is ongoing maintenance: we provide follow-up foam monitoring and dosage fine-tuning suggestions to achieve long-term foam suppression.
For example, at an enterprise specializing in the manufacture of precision aluminum alloy parts, the cutting fluid foam went out of control during the high-temperature summer period, with frequent tank overflow that required daily shutdowns for cleaning and a marked rise in the defect rate. After adopting Chemi Tech's high-temperature defoamer, operators, following the guidance, made an initial addition and subsequent maintenance additions in the central circulation system. The foam was significantly controlled within a short time, the overflow disappeared, and the machining environment became dry again. More importantly, the cooling and lubricating performance of the cutting fluid was stably maintained, tool life was extended, product machining quality was restored and kept stable, and production efficiency was effectively safeguarded.
Choosing Chemi Tech means not only choosing a product, but also choosing a complete technical service that spans from problem diagnosis to effect maintenance. We are committed to helping customers overcome the production obstacles caused by high-temperature cutting fluid foam and achieve a smoother, more economical, and higher-quality machining process.
