Foamstream is herbicide-free, and safe for animals, people and sensitive environment areas.
What is Foamstream?
Foamstream is the leading herbicide-free solution for controlling unwanted vegetation including weeds, moss, and algae. Its patented low-pressure process combines hot water and biodegradable foam, made from natural plant oils and sugars, making it safe for use around people, animals, and delicate environments. With our lance sets, it can also be used for chewing gum removal, pressure washing and general sanitation jobs too, making it a highly effective, all-round, green space and urban management system.
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.
Using their industry-leading machinery, 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 does this mean?
Foamstream provides the most effective way of killing vegetation, meaning fewer treatment cycles are needed per year comparted to any other alternative thermal method of weed control. By needing fewer treatment cycles, less labour is needed over the course of the year, reducing overhead costs for customers.
In addition to killing the plant, Foamstream also sterilises surrounding seeds and spores that haven’t yet germinated, helping reduce future weed growth.
By combining the most effective method, the fewest treatment cycles per year and the ability to sterilise seeds and spore, Foamstream offers customers the lowest cost of ownership and operation cost in the alternative herbicide-free space. As Foamstream can also be used for so much more than just weed control, the commercial case for using Foamstream over alternatives comes highly attractive.
