Description
LubriMax™ DF-10 Defoamer Fluid
LubriMax™ DF-10 Defoamer Fluid is a 100% active, low-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone fluid designed for effective foam control in industrial oils, lubricants, and hydrocarbon-based systems. With a nominal viscosity of 10 cSt, DF-10 provides rapid foam knockdown while offering excellent spreading and dispersion at very low treatment levels.
DF-10 is well suited for hydraulic oils, gear oils, compressor oils, circulating oils, metalworking fluids, and other industrial lubricant formulations where excessive surface foam or entrained air can interfere with fluid performance and equipment operation. Its concentrated, water-free silicone chemistry allows formulators to achieve effective foam control without introducing an aqueous emulsion or carrier solvent.
Key Benefits
- Rapid Foam Knockdown – Low-viscosity silicone chemistry quickly disrupts and collapses troublesome foam.
- 100% Active Silicone – Concentrated PDMS fluid containing no water or carrier solvent.
- 10 cSt Viscosity – Provides an effective balance of rapid spreading, dispersion, and persistent foam control.
- Effective at Low Treat Rates – Designed to provide foam control with very small additions to the finished formulation.
- Broad Oil Compatibility – Suitable for a wide variety of mineral-oil, synthetic-oil, and hydrocarbon-based industrial systems.
- Excellent Thermal Stability – Silicone chemistry provides dependable performance across demanding industrial operating conditions.
- Easy to Incorporate – Low viscosity simplifies metering and dispersion into concentrates and finished fluids.
- Economical Foam Control – High activity and low dosage requirements minimize the amount of defoamer required.
