What is Foamstream made from?
The core of the patented Foamstream process lies in its biodegradable foams, crafted from natural plant oils and sugars. Two foam blends are available to suit different needs:
- Foamstream V4: The original blend, made from a combination of natural ingredients including wheat, maize, coconut oil, rapeseed oil, and potatoes.
- Foamstream Plus: A specialised blend featuring olive oil as its primary ingredient.
Both options offer sustainable and effective solutions for eco-friendly vegetation management.
How does it work?
The active ingredient in the process is the heat in the hot water. The foam simply acts as an insulating blanket over the top of the hot water, ensuring heat is not lost to the atmosphere.
Foamstream is applied to vegetation at low pressure and can be used in all weathers. Once it hits the vegetation and covers it, the foam creates a thermal blanket over the vegetation and the water.
What are the key Foamstream Benefits?
It is safe for use around watercourses, requires minimal protective clothing, and delivers instant visible results, reducing management time.
