TEGO® Surten 231 E is a wetting agent and molecular defoamer that can provide an attractive combination of performance benefits. The unique structure can deliver multifunctional properties, including efficient surface tension reduction and foam control.
Typical Applications
TEGO® Surten 231 E is used as a defoamer and wetting agent specifically for water-based fluids for multi-wire cutting systems. Cutting fluid formulations containing our TEGO® Surten 231 E are able to achieve a drastically improved cut quality ratio (more A+ vs. A-) at higher cutting speeds with the smallest wire diameters at the lowest dosing rates.
