FOAM-STAR ULTRA
FOAM-STAR ULTRA is a highly concentrated, biodegradable foaming agent with the ability to foam in fresh, brackish or salty waters. FOAM-STAR ULTRA will not contaminate streams or groundwater and presents no disposal problems
Application
FOAM-STAR ULTRA is used as a foaming agent in air-drilling applications. FOAM-STAR ULTRA is also used for dust suppression, mist, foam and stiff-foam drilling.
Advantages
- Produces stable, consistent foam in all types of water
- Environmentally acceptable and biodegradable
- NSF certified
- Improves hole cleaning and penetration rates
- Low pour point for cold weather use
- High flash point minimizes transport restrictions
