Test Results

Various international institutes are testing Fytofoam®. These include: NUC/NSF (NL), STRI (GB) and IGI (D)

In tests, the increase in moisture retention through the use of Fytofoam® varied from 54 to 110%. With respect to a 15-cm thick sandy subsoil under a grass playing surface for golf or football and a suction power of 40 mbar, between 10.7 and 16.4 more litres water were retained per m2 surface area. The different amounts of foam mixture used were 15, 20 and 22.5 Vol. % respectively.

This graph shows that Fytofoam® holds moisture longer than convential turf mixtures.
