What is Controlling Persistent Foam in MWFs about?

This article discusses challenges in controlling foam in metalworking fluids (MWFs) and other industrial lubricants. Foam hinders the performance of water-based and oil-based lubricants by preventing them from contacting surfaces where lubrication is needed. Experts note that foam generation is caused by air being incorporated into fluids from machining operations and stabilized by surfactants. Proper fluid formulation, operational practices, and system design and maintenance are important to minimize foam.
