A chemical foam generator consists of an inverted, cone-shaped hopper containing dry powdered (A and B) chemicals. At the apex of the cone a water jet mixes the chemicals with water, and a reaction occurs that generates carbon dioxide, which produces the foam. 1, record 1, English, - chemical%20foam%20generator

Les émulseurs sont des produits qui ajoutés à l'eau permettent d'obtenir de la mousse au moyen de lances spéciales ou des générateurs. Il s'agit donc de la mousse «physique». La mousse dite «chimique», dont la fabrication est pratiquement abandonnée, résultait de la réaction d'un produit acide sur un produit basique. Cette mousse était particulièrement corrosive. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20%C3%A0%20mousse%20chimique
