KOCHCHEMIE Active Foam car shampoo 1 L — phosphate & NTA free, long‑lasting protective foam with sandalwood scent

KOCHCHEMIE Active Foam is a concentrated, phosphate- and NTA-free car shampoo that produces long-lasting, protective foam with a subtle sandalwood scent.

Designed for both professional detailers and conscientious car owners, this 1-liter formula combines a high proportion of anionic surfactants with a specialized foaming system to lift dirt while leaving a protective layer on paintwork. It avoids harsh phosphate and NTA chemistry, reducing environmental impact while delivering a rich lather that helps streamline hand washes, gantry systems, and self-service bays.

How does KOCHCHEMIE Active Foam clean without harming paint?

The formulation uses anionic surfactants that effectively emulsify and remove road grime, traffic film, and light contaminants without stripping existing sealants or wax layers when used correctly. Its balanced pH and surfactant ratio prioritize paint safety while still providing visible cleaning power.

• High ratio of anionic surfactants for efficient dirt removal
• Safe for paintwork when diluted per instructions
• Gentle on existing protective layers like wax or sealants

What makes the foam 'long-lasting' and why does that matter?

Active Foam features a tailored foaming agent blend that creates stable, clingy suds which expand and stay active on vertical panels longer than ordinary shampoos. Longer contact time increases dwell time for cleaning agents, improving lift of stubborn deposits and reducing the need for aggressive mechanical scrubbing.

• Stable foam formulation for extended contact on surfaces
• Improved cleaning without excessive mechanical action
• Even spreadability when used with brushes or foam lances

Will the sandalwood aroma be overpowering during use?

The scent profile is designed to be pleasant and subtle — noticeable but not intrusive — so it enhances the washing experience without overwhelming commercial or personal workspaces. The fragrance dissipates naturally as the foam rinses away.

• Subtle sandalwood fragrance for a pleasant user experience
• Balanced scent concentration to avoid lingering odors
• Suitable for commercial environments and private garages

How can I use KOCHCHEMIE Active Foam in different washing systems?

Active Foam adapts to multiple washing methods: dilute for bucket-and-mitt hand washes, use with foam lances for pre-soak in gantry or touchless bays, or incorporate in self-service foam brushes. Follow the recommended dilution rates and application steps for each system to optimize performance and avoid waste.

• Hands-on washing: dilute per label and apply with a wash mitt or brush
• Foam lance/pre-soak: adjust concentration for thick, clinging foam
• Self-service bays: compatible with standard dosing and dispensing systems

Who is this product for? KOCHCHEMIE Active Foam is aimed at professional detailers, car wash operators, and discerning vehicle owners who want an effective, paint-safe shampoo with environmental considerations in mind. It suits anyone who values rich, long-lasting foam, a pleasant working scent, and a formulation free from phosphate and NTA — ideal for hand washing, gantry systems, and self-service installations.
