Sanifoam Vaporooter
VAPOROOTER is a combination of herbicides that are placed in sewer lines as a foam for the purpose of eliminating roots and preventing further destruction of sewer pipe caused by live tree roots. Only roots within the pipe and a very short distance outside the pipe are affected. Trees and shrubs immediately above ground are not harmed.
VAPOROOTER is composed of:
- A Herbicide which penetrates root cell walls, bursts them and causes the root to die and decay.
- A root growth inhibitor which attaches to surface-active organic materials to inhibit further root cell division or growth for approximately three years.
- A surfactant blend which strips away grease and slime from the roots permitting penetration of the formulation into the root mass.
- A foaming agent which provides a durable, fine textured "vehicle" to carry VAPOROOTER into maximum contact with all roots and pipe surfaces.
Optimum foam quality and quantity are achieved with the VAPOROOTER System for cost-effective control of your sewer root problems.
