An anti-foam additive is needed because a foaming oil

  • A.loses its pour point depressant
  • B.becomes immiscible with water
  • C.cannot maintain a load-bearing film
  • D.has too high a viscosity index

Answer: C

Correct answer: cannot maintain a load-bearing film

Foam is a mixture of oil and air, and air will not carry load, so a foaming oil loses its film and the surfaces come into contact. Foam also impairs heat transfer and can cause a pump to lose suction. Silicone anti-foam additives break the bubbles as they form, at very low concentration.
