Abstract:
An aqueous foam generating system comprising:a first solution of particles of a carbomer resin encapsulated within an anhydrous, non-polar, organic hydrophobic surfactant; a second solution of a neutralizing liquid having a ph in the range of approximately 5-11, said second solution being capable of ionizing said carbomer resin; an eductor having a primary input, a secondary input and an output coupled to said primary input and said secondary input, said secondary input being coupled to said first solution; a pump for pumping said second solution into said primary input of said eductor, wherein a volumetric portion of said first solution is drawn into said second solution being pumped into said primary output, and wherein a mixture of said first solution and said second solution exits said eductor at said output; and an aerator coupled to said output of said eductor for spraying said mixture wherein an aqueous foam is formed by said mixture so-sprayed.
