The cost of excluding a gram of dirt is probably only about 10 percent of what it will cost you once it gets into your oil. One often overlooked option for gearbox contamination control is the seals. Upgrading standard lip seals to labyrinth bearing isolators can make a big difference when trying to achieve aggressive oil cleanliness levels. 3 gearbox oil contamination control case studies.

GET THE ANSWER
From the book "Oil Analysis Basics – Second Edition”:
Defoamants inhibit the formation of stable foams above the oil level in tanks, reservoirs and sumps. Defoamants are typically polymers such as methyl silicone or polymethacrylate. They are dispensed as micro-globules in the oil, around 10 microns in size. These globules are pulled up as the air rises and then weaken the bubbles that form, causing them to burst.
