Struggling with Coolant Issues?

Is your coolant foaming up and overflowing, making a mess of your floor? Is sticky residue clinging to your machines and parts, slowing down production?

These two problems often go hand-in-hand, and the main culprit is usually "Concentration is too high."

The Causes:

• Excessive Foam: Often caused by high concentration combined with Soft Water, which lacks the minerals needed to suppress foam.

• Sticky Residue: Caused by overly concentrated coolant. When the water evaporates, the excess concentrate leaves a residue. If you use Hard Water, it gets even worse, creating soap-like scum.

✅ 2 Simple Steps to Fix It Immediately:

1. Adjust Concentration: This is key. Check and lower the concentration to the level recommended by the manufacturer.

2. Check Water Quality:

   • If you adjusted concentration but still have foam: Your water might be too soft.

   • If you have hard, sticky residue: Your water might be too hard. Consider switching to RO or DI water.
