Koch Chemie UF Ultra Foam: High Foaming Pre-Wash & Foam Cleaner
Create an incredibly thick, stable blanket of foam with Koch Chemie Ultra Foam (UF), a highly concentrated, slightly alkaline snow foam (pH 8.5) developed for self-service car washes, professional detailing studios, and enthusiast foam lances.
Ultra Foam delivers the exact cleaning power needed against tough road film without prematurely breaking down intact polymer sealants or ceramic coatings, ensuring your vehicle's protection lasts visibly longer.
The Koch Chemie Foam Spectrum (The pH Sweet-Spot)
Ultra Foam sits perfectly in the middle of the Koch Chemie foam family to balance gentleness with raw cleaning power:
- Gentle Snow Foam (Gsf): pH 7.5 — Ultra-gentle, but lifts less road grime.
- Ultra Foam (UF): pH 8.5 — The sweet-spot. Superior road film removal while remaining safe on coatings.
- Active Foam (Af): pH 9.5 — Deep cleaning, but will attack natural carnauba waxes.
- Super Foam (Sf): pH 12.0 — Extreme alkaline cleaning (not for coated vehicles).
*Note: Due to its coating-safe formulation, Ultra Foam is not the ideal pick for aggressive, pure decontamination washes prior to machine polishing.
Key Features & Benefits
- Thick, Shaving-Cream Foam: Produces a luxurious, dense foam blanket that clings to vertical panels for an extended dwell time, maximizing chemical contact.
- Highly Cost-Effective: Extreme concentration requires just 3 to 8 ml per car in automated systems, bringing chemical costs down to the single-cent range.
- Advanced Micelle Technology: Anionic surfactants trap and lift oily road film safely away from the paintwork.
- Excellent Lubrication: Provides a slick barrier that minimizes the risk of swirl marks and wash marring.
- Pleasant Experience: Infused with a fresh berry and peach fragrance.
- Versatile Application: Calibrated for commercial dosing pumps, self-service bays, and hobbyist foam lances.
Areas of Use
- Passenger and commercial vehicles
- Professional detailing and pre-wash stages
- Self-service wash bays and gantry systems
- Foam lance applications
How to Use Koch Chemie UF
- Dilution: Varies depending on desired thickness. Use at a 1:300 dilution ratio for traditional hand washing.
- Consumption: Typical commercial consumption is 15–40 ml per minute (or 3–8 ml per car).
- Application: Apply evenly from the bottom of the vehicle upwards using a foam lance or wash system.
- Dwell & Rinse: Allow to dwell (approx. 5 minutes), then rinse thoroughly with high-pressure water.
- Do not allow the product to dry on the surface.
- Do not use on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.
- Always test compatibility on an inconspicuous area before first use.
Formulated without NTA, phosphates, or EDTA, Ultra Foam closes the gap between gentle, pH-neutral cleaning foams and harsh pre-cleaners. It runs on a high share of advanced anionic surfactants that build stable micelles inside the foam structure. These spherical surfactant arrangements trap oily dirt at their core and safely carry it off during the rinse phase, meaning road film clings to the foam blanket instead of your paintwork.
