Description
Cuda Defoamer is a highly concentrated, non-silicone liquid foam suppressant formulated to provide rapid and effective foam control in aqueous parts washing systems. Designed for use with aqueous detergents when additional foam suppression is required, Cuda Defoamer quickly eliminates excessive foaming caused by equipment design, water quality, heavy soil loading, or challenging cleaning applications.
Excessive foam can reduce cleaning efficiency, interfere with spray patterns, and create operational challenges within parts washing equipment. Cuda Defoamer helps maintain optimal system performance by controlling foam in both wash and rinse stages, allowing cleaning systems to operate efficiently and consistently.
Compatible with heated spray cabinets, conveyorized washers, manual wash stations, and immersion tanks, Cuda Defoamer delivers dependable foam control without negatively impacting cleaning performance or leaving residues that can interfere with downstream manufacturing processes.
