FAQ’s
It is a misconception that if the foam takes longer than usual range (45-60 seconds) the quality of foam is not good. Longer duration (upto 120 seconds) for water absorption has no impact on its performance. But if a foam absorbs water too quickly it would have a tendency to drain water also.
Please Note: soaking time also varies with the temperature of water used. Too cold water would prolong the saturation time and warm water would rush the saturation time.
