Antifoam agent for safe processes when removing flux residues in electronics

Etimol Defoamers are effective anti-foaming agents for eliminating foam formation in aqueous cleaning media. They have proven to be particularly effective for use in automated cleaning, where water-soluble flux residues can cause excessive foaming. This heavy foaming can cause valves within the cleaning system to clog and pumps to stop working and fail. The anti-foam agents developed by Emil Otto are environmentally friendly and non-flammable and therefore, like the other Etimol cleaning products, are not hazardous goods.

At SMTconnect 2022, Emil Otto will be presenting the two anti-foaming agents to the trade public for the first time at a trade fair. The ready-to-use Etimol Defoamer DFL-100 has been specially developed for the EO cleaners and Etimol cleaning media to prevent foam formation during spraying and rinsing or to break up foam that has already formed. In addition, Etimol Defoamer DFL-C has been developed as a concentrate that also reduces and inhibits the formation of foam during the foaming of the cleaning bath. This concentrate was also developed for the EO cleaners, in particular for the ETIMOL cleaning media. The high-performance concentrate is very effective even in very small quantities.
