Mineral Oil Defoamer
Product FeaturesChemically, it typically uses mineral oil as the base, combined with active ingredients such as wax and hydrophobic silica, along with emulsifiers. This formulation gives it strong versatility, excellent compatibility with most systems, and relatively low raw material costs.

Product Advantages
- Mineral oil defoamer (also known as oil-based defoamer) is an economical and efficient non-silicone defoaming solution.
- Its primary function is to rapidly eliminate and effectively suppress foam in aqueous systems over the long term.
- It is particularly suitable for cost-sensitive applications or processes where silicone-based defoamers cannot be used—such as to avoid surface defects like craters or fisheyes.
FAQ
-
What should I do if the defoaming effect is unsatisfactory?
There are three possible reasons: first, the dosage may be insufficient—gradually increase the amount to test; second, the addition point might be incorrect—choose a location at the source of foam generation or in turbulent zones; third, the system may be incompatible—mineral oil-based defoamers are less effective against dense fine bubbles and offer poor long-term foam suppression, possibly requiring frequent re-addition or switching to a different product type.
-
Why do defects such as cratering and fisheye occur after addition?
These are mostly caused by excessive addition or insufficient dispersion. When mineral oil has poor compatibility with the system, over-addition can easily form an oil film or cause cratering on the coating surface. Reduce the dosage and ensure thorough dispersion.
-
What should I do if the product separates or freezes?
Store at a temperature between 5°C and 40°C, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources. If frozen below 0°C, thaw and mix thoroughly; this generally does not affect performance.
-
Can it be stored long-term after dilution?
No. Mineral oil defoamers are generally not recommended to be diluted with water, as their stability decreases after dilution, leading to separation and loss of effectiveness. If the product instructions do not support dilution, use the concentrate directly.
