Non-Foaming and Low-Foaming Fluids

 

 

Low-foaming and non-foaming fluids  produce only small amounts of foam, or do not produce foam at all. Non-foaming characteristics are achieved through the use of additives that break out entrained air. Leaks can introduce air into systems for circulating hydraulic fluid, thermal oil, or grinding coolant. Entrained air can cause pump damage due to cavitation. Foaming can also reduce the cooling ability and the bulk modulus (or stiffness) of the fluid.
