Phenolic foam is a dense, lightweight and porous material that can be cut into virtually any shape. It holds its shape when wet and provides both water and support to cut flower arrangements. Phenolic foam originally appeared as a green brick. Today, it comes in various colors and a variety of shapes such as spheres, crosses or wreaths suitable for a variety of arranging needs.
In addition, phenolic foam is pH balanced. This means that the acidity of the environment which the flowers are placed in remains at the optimum level ultimately helping your flowers to last. Another important feature of phenolic foam is how quickly it will soak and absorb water. Phenolic foams have become a permanent staple in the art of flower arrangement. By providing trouble-free support for flowers, many designs have been made achievable, giving flower arranging artists more room to come up with every design that they can imagine.
As we can see that there is great demand for flowers in Indian society for example wedding, Valentine’s Day, birthday, anniversary and many more events. So increase in floriculture means increase in phenolic foam business. Thus, due to demand it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.
