Customer question
Hardware accessories are used as supporting products, semi-finished products and machine parts for industrial manufacturing. During the cleaning process, hardware cleaning agents will be added to remove dirt. However, cleaning agents are also easy to cause foam problems. Generally, industrial cleaning defoamers can solve the problem. A hardware manufacturer in Singapore encountered such a problem. The person in charge, Mr. Sun, contacted Nanhui through the Internet, and Nanhui configured an industrial cleaning defoamer for defoaming according to its cleaning agent samples.
1. Customer information: Mr. Sun, who is engaged in hardware production in Singapore, encountered a foam problem of hardware cleaning agent, which affected the cleaning accuracy of hardware and affected the appearance of hardware.

Customer request
1. Less addition amount, good defoaming and anti-foaming performance.
2. Equipped with dedicated hardware cleaning agent defoaming agent, which will not affect the cleaning effect of the cleaning agent.
3. The defoaming performance of the defoaming agent is better, it will not react with the hardware, and will not corrode the hardware products.

Solution
1. Analysis of the cause of foaming in hardware cleaning
(1) In the hardware cleaning process, hardware cleaning agent is added. Since the cleaning agent contains surfactants, it needs to be stirred or sprayed during cleaning, resulting in the formation of foam.
(2) The hardware cleaning agent produces a large amount of foam due to production conditions such as cleaning temperature and pH. At this time, industrial cleaning defoamer can be used to control the foam.
2. The hazards of hardware cleaning foam
(1) The foam makes the hardware difficult to clean, resulting in cleaning oil spots and cleaning stains.
(2) Foam affects the subsequent processes of hardware parts, slowing down the production schedule and increasing production costs.
(3) Foam increases the amount of industrial water supply, which is difficult to clean, which affects the cleaning progress and increases the cost of water.

3. Hardware cleaning and defoaming scheme
Hardware can be used as an important part of the machine, and the cost of raw materials is high. Most of the hardware cleaning agents used in the cleaning environment have strong cleaning capabilities. In the process of hardware cleaning, if cleaning foam is encountered, industrial cleaning defoamer can be added to defoam.

Nanhui industrial cleaning defoamer is developed according to the characteristics of industrial cleaning process and metal cleaning agent. It is processed by Nanhui defoamer chemical engineer through a special composite process. It has good compatibility and will not be added to the cleaning agent. Affect the appearance of the cleaning agent, and will not cause oil bleaching and demulsification. It can also be added and used directly in the cleaning process.
Nanhui industrial cleaning defoamer has a high concentration, a small amount, and a controllable addition cost. It can be used for defoaming in hardware cleaning agents, metal cleaning agents, industrial cleaning agents, degreasing agents, degreasing agents and other products.

The chemical engineer of Nanhui defoamer received the sample sent by the customer Mr. Sun and analyzed the composition and the cause of foaming. Through the experiment, the client Mr. Sun provided the above three solutions. Through the sample, Mr. Sun chose the industrial cleaning defoamer of Scheme 2 and obtained 800 kg from Nanhui, which has been put into use now. The foam problem of hardware cleaning has been solved, and the customer, Mr. Sun, is quite satisfied.
