Frequently  Asked  Questions 

Fortis Foam is a Polish brand of professional active foam designed for car washes and detailing studios. We offer two products: Fortis Foam PRO (concentrate pH 13.8, working solution pH 11.7–12) for touchless car washes and Fortis Foam ECO (concentrate pH 10.5, working solution pH 8.3–8.5) for hand washing and detailing. Both products are biodegradable.

Fortis Foam PRO (concentrate pH 13.8) is a highly alkaline foam optimized for touchless car washes — it effectively removes heavy dirt without contact. Working solution pH is 12 (at 1:100) or 11.7 (at 1:200). Fortis Foam ECO (concentrate pH 10.5) is a gentle, biodegradable formula for hand washes and detailing, safe for ceramic coatings and PPF film. ECO working solution pH is 8.5 (at 1:100) or 8.3 (at 1:150).

Fortis Foam is available directly from the manufacturer. Contact us via the contact form or by phone to get a quote.

Fortis Foam is available in 5L, 10L, 20L (canisters), 200L (drum), and 1000L (IBC container) packages. For car washes, the most popular are 20L and 200L containers.

Yes — we offer product samples for car wash operators and detailing studios. Contact us with information about your car wash, and we will send a sample of the appropriate product.

Yes, when used at the recommended dilution (1:100–1:200) and contact time up to 3 minutes, PRO is completely safe for all types of automotive paint. Although the concentrate pH is 13.8, the working solution has pH 12 (at 1:100) or 11.7 (at 1:200).

In winter, we recommend a stronger dilution of 1:100 to effectively remove heavier dirt, road salt, and deposits. In summer, 1:200 is sufficient for standard dirt.

PRO is optimized for touchless car washes. For hand washes and detailing, we recommend Fortis Foam ECO with its gentler concentrate pH of 10.5 (working solution pH 8.3–8.5).

At 1:200 dilution, one liter of concentrate yields 200 liters of working solution, enough for approximately 65–100 cars depending on the dosing system.

Store in original packaging at 5–30°C, away from direct sunlight. Shelf life: 36 months from production date.

Yes, the ECO formula was developed with the environment in mind. All active ingredients are biodegradable in accordance with European standards.

Yes, ECO effectively softens dirt before hand washing. The concentrate pH is 10.5, while the working solution has pH 8.5 (at 1:100) or 8.3 (at 1:150). It is optimized for detailing where paint gentleness matters.

ECO is primarily designed for hand washes and detailing. For touchless car washes, we recommend Fortis Foam PRO with its concentrate pH of 13.8 (working solution pH 12 at 1:100).

Recommended dilution is 1:100–1:150. For detailing use 1:100 for stronger action, for hand washes 1:150 for economy.

ECO's light formula rinses easily and leaves no streaks or marks, which is crucial in professional detailing.

pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Alkaline foams (pH > 7) effectively dissolve fats and organic dirt. PRO has a concentrate pH of 13.8 (working solution pH 11.7–12), ECO has a concentrate pH of 10.5 (working solution pH 8.3–8.5). Higher pH = stronger cleaning action, but requires more caution.

At proper dilution and contact time up to 3 minutes — no. Our formulas contain corrosion inhibitors that protect rubber seals, plastic parts, and aluminum wheels.

Active foam is applied to the body under pressure, creating a thick layer that emulsifies dirt, grease, and contaminants. After a few minutes of contact, dirt is rinsed off with a high-pressure water stream — without physical contact with the paint.

We do not recommend mixing products. PRO and ECO have different formulas optimized for different applications. Mixing may reduce the effectiveness of both products.

Hard water (> 300 mg/l CaCO3) may reduce foam effectiveness. In such conditions, we recommend a stronger dilution or using a water softener. Our formulas contain chelates that partially compensate for water hardness.

Yes — we offer attractive pricing for wholesale orders (from 200L). The larger the order, the better the unit price. Contact us for a custom quote.

Standard orders are fulfilled in 2–5 business days. For regular customers with a framework agreement, we ensure delivery within 24–48 hours. IBC containers (1000L) may require longer lead times.

Yes — we produce active foam under the customer's own brand (private label). Minimum order: 200L. We provide full support for label design and formula selection.
