Foaming Agent in Mobile Toilets

Admin 09 de octubre de 2026

The foaming agent used in mobile toilets is a key consumable for foam-flush toilets, generating foam by mixing with water to replace traditional water flushing, featuring water conservation, odor prevention, and low maintenance costs. Here are the specific details:

Types and Specifications of Foaming Agents

The foaming agents commonly used in mobile toilets are mainly concentrated types that need to be diluted in proportion before use. For example, Beijing Anbangjie Technology offers FP-20 Eco-Friendly Toilet Foaming Agent in two specifications:

  • 500ml Concentrated Foaming Agent: It has a fast foaming speed and saves on usage, suitable for use with small foam toilets. A small amount of single addition can maintain the foam coverage effect.
  • 20kg Large-Barrel Foaming Agent: Designed for large public toilets or high-traffic scenarios, it can be diluted in batches for use, offering higher cost-effectiveness and reducing the hassle of frequent replacement of consumables.
    In addition, the company also provides Smart Toilet Foaming Liquid (20kg barrel), which is a liquid concentrated foam agent dedicated to eco-friendly toilets and suitable for intelligent foam flushing systems.

Working Principle of Foaming Agents

Foam-flush toilets generate a large amount of fine foam through a foaming device after the foaming agent is mixed with water. These foams have three functions:

  1. Blocking the Drain Outlet: The foam covers the surface of the toilet bowl, forming a sealed layer to prevent odor diffusion and reduce the breeding of mosquitoes and flies.
  2. Lubricating Feces: The lubricity of the foam reduces the friction between feces and the inner wall of the toilet bowl, facilitating subsequent cleaning or natural degradation.
  3. Water Conservation Alternative: Traditional water-flush toilets use about 6-12 liters of water per flush, while foam flushing only requires 0.5-1 liter of water, with a water conservation rate exceeding 90%.

Application Scenarios and Advantages

Foam toilets driven by foaming agents are widely applicable in areas without drainage facilities or with scarce water resources, such as scenic spots, construction sites, and temporary event venues. Their core advantages include:

  • Water and Electricity Conservation: No large amount of clean water is required for flushing, and the foam generation device has low energy consumption.
  • Low Maintenance Costs: The concentrated foaming agent is used in small amounts, and the large barrel can reduce long-term consumable expenses.
  • Significant Odor Prevention Effect: The foam sealed layer effectively isolates odors, improving the usage environment.
  • Environmental Friendliness: Some foaming agents adopt biodegradable formulas, reducing pollution to the environment.

Precautions

When using foaming agents, it is necessary to adjust the proportion according to the equipment requirements to avoid excessive concentration causing foam overflow or insufficient concentration affecting the blocking effect. Regularly cleaning the foaming device and the inner wall of the toilet bowl can extend the service life of the equipment and maintain system stability.
