Global expertise in defoamers and foam control

English | French | Spanish

Foam formation can create major challenges in metalworking processes, especially when fluids are circulated at high speeds or mixed with oils and additives. Excess foam reduces lubrication performance, interferes with cooling efficiency, and can disrupt machining accuracy. PMC Ouvrie offers advanced defoamers for metalworking fluids that minimize foam formation while maintaining fluid performance across demanding industrial applications.

PMC Ouvrie’s EROL™ product line delivers reliable metalworking fluid defoamers with excellent wetting and dispersion properties. These formulations are designed to control foam during multiple stages of metalworking, including pickling, descaling, rust removal, passivation, and machining. EROL™ defoamers are also compatible with cutting oils, quenching oils, and water soluble metalworking fluids.
