Frequently Asked Questions

Our standard foaming agents suppress dust by efficiently dampening the dust particles, using only minimal moisture. They do not contain any additional binders or ‘tackifiers’. In situations where you want to separate the dust, and avoid dust sticking to larger material, this would be the recommended product.

For instances where additional binding of dust particles is advantageous, we have foaming agents with binders. These also provide extended dust control, trapping dust after the material has dried out.

Best-Chem Foam Systems use a specially custom built nozzle, with a large orifice. This eliminates blocking issues and allows optimum foam delivery.
