The Revolutionary Substrate To Boost Your Crops’ Yield

It is undeniable that caring for your crops and seeing them develop is endlessly rewarding – and vital for your agricultural business to thrive. But maximizing your crop production and ensuring the wellbeing of all of your plants in an environmentally friendly way is all but easy – especially if you are still using outdated technologies and are battling the effects of climate change.

That is where Rocket Foam comes in. This revolutionary substrate takes all the guesswork out of creating the perfect growing environment for your plants. Thanks to its neutral pH, perfect air-water ratio, and unprecedented capillary action,

Rocket Foam allows you to effortlessly deliver to your plants the nutrients and oxygen they need to thrive and boost your yield while saving you almost 40% in water usage.

How Does Rocket Foam Work?

A Look Into This New Cutting-Edge Technology

The global agricultural market was worth $1.84 billion in 2018 and it is expected to continue growing at a whopping CAGR of 19.1% to 2026 and beyond. And, what makes this unprecedented growth possible is only new technologies like Rocket Foam.

  • Only 2% Solid for Maximum Water and Nutrients Uptake
  • Perfect Air-Water Ratio for Greater Root Development and Stronger Plants
  • More Accurate Distribution of Oxygen and Nutrients – Without the Risk of Oversaturation!
  • A Neutral pH To Create the Ideal Growing Environment

Take Your Hydroponic Crop to the Next Level With Rocket Foam

Rocket Foam is a new substrate solution made of Fytocell, a biodegradable aminoplast resin foam designed to create the perfect growing environment for your plants. The white spongy substrate offers a neutral pH environment and the perfect air-water ratio for your crops to develop and absorb the nutrients and oxygen needed to offer maximum yield!

Perfect Air / Water Ratio for Root Growth

The Rocket Foam structure provides a near-perfect air/water ratio at all times, encouraging the development of a mass of finely branched roots – enabling better uptake of water and essential nutrients. The result is stronger, healthier plants and improved yields.

Scientifically Proven – Air 37% by volume

Oxygen is as vital to healthy root development as water and nutrients. The open cell structure of Rocket Foam ensures good oxygen content throughout the entire depth of the slab or pot of flakes – even when Rocket Foam is saturated. Before Rocket Foam it was very easy to add water to a substrate – but far more difficult to add oxygen!

Easy to Use in Hydroponics

Lightweight and easy to handle; non-prickly. Rocket Foam is impossible to overwater. Rocket Foam provides the plants with easy access to water, so in case of power failure, there is a good water buffer. Rocket Foam has low cation exchange and flushes easily.

Can’t be Beaten

(Great Capillary Action) The great capillary action of Rocket Foam means that water is drawn up to the top of the slab. In uneven surface conditions where either ponding or dryness can occur, Rocket Foam is still able to provide a balanced air/water ratio in both the slab and flake form.

Easy Water Management

Rocket Foam is impossible to over-wet/saturate at a maximum of 60% saturation. Even when the slab or flakes have saturated the structure, Rocket Foam ensures there is sufficient air for healthy root growth. Should Rocket Foam dry out for any reason, re-wetting is simple and trouble-free.

  • hand water • run to waste or recirculating systems
100% Compostable

Proven in Holland. Rocket Foam is an aminoplast foam. It is harmless to the environment, 100% biodegradable, and compostable, making disposal easier and maintaining the green image.

Sciarid Fly

Grower feedback to date indicates both RocketFlake and RocketBlocks provide a barrier to sciarid fly invasion. Because Rocket Foam is non-fibrous, sciarid flies have difficulty penetrating the Rocket Foam.

Start With A Clean Substrate

Minimize your risk. Rocket Foam is sterile. This gives your young plant the best start to life. Rocket Foam has a starting pH of between 5.5 – 7.0 so there is no need to adjust your pH – just add your nutrient solution.

The Unparalleled Features of Rocket Foam: What Makes It a One-of-a-Kind Solution for Maximum Crop Yield

Only 2% Solid for Maximum Water and Nutrients Uptake

The Rocket Foam material is only 2% solid, while the remaining 98% is made of cavities. This ratio offers plants the perfect growing environment and promotes the growth of capillary roots – which, in turn, are vital to boost the uptake of water and nutrients throughout the plant’s life cycle.

Perfect Air-Water Ratio for Greater Root Development and Stronger Plants

Over 35% of the Rocket Foam substrate is made by air – something that cannot be compared with any other substrate on the market, which usually offers a maximum of 20-25% of air. Rocket Foam’s open cell structure allows for guaranteed oxygen levels throughout the root area, even after heavy watering, which is key to strong root development. 

More Accurate Distribution of Oxygen and Nutrients – Without the Risk of Oversaturation!

It isn’t a secret that plants need warmth, water, air, sunlight, and nutrients to thrive but what has been a secret is how these different factors have to be combined for maximum yield – until now!

With Rocket Foam, you won’t have to worry about oversaturating your plants or overwatering your crops! Thanks to its internal structure, Rocket Foam will maintain water saturation at 60% while enabling the drainage of excess water.

A Neutral pH To Create the Ideal Growing Environment

Managing the substrate’s pH has never been easy – especially if you tend to circulate your crops or use the same substrate for multiple plants. Thanks to the pH-neutral Rocket Foam material, you no longer have to wait 10 days to stabilize your substrate’s pH and can enjoy a stable 5.5 – 7.0 pH in just 7 days!
