Using solely bio-derived ingredients
we have replicated and stabilised
one of the most fascinating structures
found in nature, and harnessed the power of
latent heat through phase transitions

EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY THAT ENSURES CROP PROTECTION

Our patent pending technology (GB2416791.8.) is based on a completely new way of using foam to protect crops from freezing conditions. As opposed to using foam as an insulator, which has been trialed in the past, our foam harnesses the latent heat as the water molecules change from liquid to crystalline solid. In order for the latent heat to dissipate and the temperature to drop below zero, this energy has to propagate through the thermally resistant foam structure. This takes time, in fact all night, even if temperatures drop well below freezing.

So in one application all the water necessary for sufficient latent heat is encapsulated and contained within the ultra stable foam. So there is no need for a continuous mist of water to be applied, no need for expensive infrastructure nor is there the concern of over use of water and its subsequent effect on waterlogging soils.

MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS

Its use in agriculture has been very limited. By engineering and formulating an ultra-stable and non-hazardous aqueous foam, FROSCO has opened the door to the incredible potential of the foam structure, not only as a good insulator from excessive heat or cold, but also as a physical barrier to pests and fungal/bacterial infections.

FROSCO has opened the door to the incredible potential of the foam structure, and is the pioneering innovation company for agricultural foam tech.

We distinguish ourselves from past attempts by our advanced technology enabling ultra-stability and harnessing of latent heat, in a biocompatible and cost-efficient manner

SOLUTION FROM SCIENCE -
INSPIRED BY NATURE

FROSCO foam has the ability to mask the smell of the crop from pests attracted that way. Soft bodied insects will be further deterred due to the high ph of the foam. This also destroys fungal spores and most forms of bacteria. This is ensured by the long contact time of the formulation in FROSCO's ultra-stable foam structure.
