53G002 - Walter 53-G 002 Industrial Defoamer Additive - 950ml

Keep Your Parts Washer Running Smoothly

Anyone who has worked with a recirculating parts washer knows the headache of foam buildup. You turn on the system, and within minutes, the tank is overflowing with suds, making a mess of your shop floor and preventing the cleaning solution from doing its job. The Walter Defoamer Additive (53G002) is the professional's answer to this problem. Designed to be a heavy-hitting "foam killer," this additive works instantly to knock down suds and keep your cleaning solution liquid and effective. It comes in a convenient 950ml bottle that is easy to store and easy to use right at the tank.

This product is an essential accessory for shops using Walter's UNO or STAR cleaning solutions, but it is effective in managing foam in various aqueous cleaning setups. One of the biggest advantages for welders and fabricators is that it is 100% silicone-free. If you are cleaning parts before welding or painting, you cannot afford to have silicone oils on the surface, as they can cause weld porosity or paint defects. With this Walter additive, you get powerful foam suppression without the risk of contaminating your workpiece. It’s a safe, worry-free way to maintain your equipment.

Using the defoamer is simple and cost-effective. You don't need to dump out your tank and start over when foam appears; just add a small amount of this concentrate directly to the reservoir. It mixes immediately with the water-based cleaner, breaking the surface tension of the bubbles and preventing new ones from forming. This protects your pump from sucking air (cavitation) and ensures you get the maximum pressure and flow rate from your washer. Keep a bottle on the shelf to ensure your maintenance and cleaning operations never have to shut down due to a foam-over.
