FAQs
-
Most lubricant applications involve agitation, which traps air in the lubricant and encourages the formation of foam. When foaming becomes excessive, lubricating qualities are less effective, and the result is oxidation and possible cavitation over time.To combat this problem, Afton’s foam inhibitors alter the surface tension of the oil and help to weaken the structure of air bubbles. The result is better lubricating qualities and reduced maintenance.
