Rapid odour containment, deodorisation

and insect control can be achieved by
creating a foam cover over odour sources
such as waste stockpiles.

The foam cover is long-lasting and leaves

a light surface film as it dries, which
continues to reduce odour emissions long
after the visible foam cover has gone. Odour
neutralisers and other additives to the foam
enhance performance further.
