TEGO® Antifoam MR 2124

TEGO® Antifoam MR 2124 is a 100 % active defoamer concentrate based on mineral oil and special waxes. TEGO® Antifoam MR 2124 is completely silicon-free. The water-dispersible defoamer is suitable for pre- and post-defoaming of emulsifiable lubricants.

Typical Applications

TEGO® Antifoam MR 2124 is suitable as pre- defaomer for a wide range of emulsifiable lubricants such as metalworking fluids (MWF).
TEGO® Antifoam MR 2124 can be applied for soluble oils and semi synthetic fluids based on mineral oils or ester oils as well as for emulsifiable lubricants that are based on blends of those oils.
Furthermore, the defoamer concentrate is suitable as tank side defoamer for post-addition to water-mixed ready to use emulsions.
TEGO® Antifoam MR 2124 is particularly recommended for applications where the use of silica and siloxanes is not appreciated.

Benefits at a glance

TEGO® Antifoam MR 2124
  • Is completely silicon (Si)-free as it neither contains silicone oils nor organo-modified siloxanes or silica
  • Has no adverse effects on finishing processes (e.g. painting, electroplating) of treated metal parts
  • Provides good foam knock down and hold down properties in a broad range of different emulsifiable systems
  • Allows the formulation of stable lubricant concentrates
  • Does not deteriorate the shelf-life of ready to use emulsions
  • Is water dispersible that enables its handling as tank side defoamer
  • Provides improved filterability compared to conventional wax based antifoams, which minimizes the amount of additional tank side defoamer
