Our new freeze protection blanket provides
affordable frost protection for your crop
against a costly killer freeze.
“My neighbors lost all
their crops last night,
but my crop was protected.”
“The temperature dropped to 23º F last night,
but my crop is safe.”
“I didn't lose a minute's sleep last
night
even though the weatherman said there would be frost!”
“My greens and tees look good and
my customers are playing on them today, even with the hard freeze we had
last night.”

Statements like these were not possible for
growers of crops
sensitive to freezing cold weather.

Nursery & Ornamental Jack Frost Foam Application
The Jack Frost
Foam Advantage!
Imagine if you could protect recently set young
plants from a killer freeze:
-
Without having to invest in an equal amount of
backup plants.
-
Without having to use vast amounts of water
that can lead to disease or damage.
-
Without having to invest in expensive crop
covers, that give only a few degrees of
protection.
-
Without having to invest in expensive wind
driven devices that don't work.
-
Without having to employ a large labor force to
replant.
Imagine being able to protect ripe fruit ready for
harvest from an early frost:
-
Without having to use thousands of gallons of
water, that can do more damage.
-
Without having production losses from applying
and removing crop covers.
-
Without having to watch your investment freeze
on the vine.
Imagine no more. Freeze protection for your plants
is here!

Jack Frost History
In 2003 a major
breakthrough in horticultural frost protection was
developed by American Ag. Foam LLC, using a simple
concept: protect a crop by placing an insulating
foam blanket over it (called Botanical Insulating
Foam.) This technological breakthrough places a
blanket of Insulating Foam over a plant for a
specific period of time. This blanket keeps heat in
(heat released from the ground is trapped around the
plant) and cold out (cold does not penetrate the
foam surface). America Ag. Foam’s patent-pending
formulation creates a protective foam that quickly
sets a strong protective outer layer (skin) as the
temperature drops. Jack Frost Foam can also
withstand the forces of wind up to 6-9 miles per
hour, with very little surface sheering occurring.
Jack Frost Foam has been formulated to protect a
crop against frost or cold damage for 8-14 hours.
After the freeze event occurs and the temperature
increases above 55ºF Jack Frost Foam is formulated
to break down and disappears with no harmful effects
on the crop.
Imagine a product that can give you all of this:
-
Light as a feather on a crop, will not bruise
or break a plant’s branches or stems.
-
Applied quickly when you need it, and can be
removed easily and quickly.
-
Foam blanket is non-toxic and safe to use on
food crops and other plants.
-
Last for 8-14 hours after application.
-
Sets a stronger protective blanket as the
temperature drops.
-
Can give up to 20+ degrees of frost
protection.
-
Starts to breakdown as the temperature rises.
IMAGINE NO LONGER!
Jack Frost Foam can give you all of this and more.
