Active Foam

Active Foam

Fine foam that dissolves and washes away dirt to deliver excellent washing results

Foam Enhances Surfactant Power

Surfactants are what give detergent the ability to eliminate dirt.
They are present on the surface of detergent particles. When
detergent is turned into foam, the surfactants get dispersed on the
entire spherical surface of each foam bubble.
This increases the overall surface area of surfactants in contact
with dirt, making it easier for the detergent to remove the dirt from
clothing.

Mechanism of dirt removal by foam surfactants

Mechanism of dirt removal by foam surfactants

1. Foam bubbles on which
surfactants have accumulated
get close to oil stains on laundry.

2. The components that are 
attracted to oil (lipophilic groups)
start to cover oil stains.

3. The outer surface of dirt is
covered by the components that are
attracted to water (hydrophilic
groups), and the dirt is loosened
and removed from clothes.

4. The removed dirt particles are
washed away effectively with water.

How to create fine foam

ActiveFoam SYSTEM creates fine, rich foam quickly, before the washing cycle starts, with 3-step foam generation

Dissolves detergent

Dissolves detergent
High-pressure water dissolves detergent in the detergent case to generate fine foam.

Foam Generation

Foam Generation
Fine, creamy, highly concentrated foam is
generated.

Foam penetration

Foam penetration
Fine foam penetrates into clothes quickly
and wraps around dirt.

Benefits of ActiveFoam SYSTEM

1. Clean Results

1. Clean Results
The power of foam enables faster washing with cleaner
results.
* Internal test result.
* Washing performance may differ depending on conditions.

2. Fast Penetration

2. Fast Penetration
Fine & dense foam makes it easier to penetrate clothes
to quickly remove dirt.

3. Less Undissolved Detergent

3. Less Undissolved Detergent
Detergent is turned into foam before washing,
so less undissolved detergent is attached on clothes.

Aqua Spin Rinse

The new Aqua Spin Rinse feature helps you save water during the rinsing process. Along with the regular water
flow, two additional showers at different locations inside the drum efficiently remove detergent from the
clothes by using minimum amount of water.

Two rinse cycle:

Shower rinse:
Water showers on clothes and tub rotates at a high speed simultaneously.

Soak rinse:
Tub is filled with water and clothes are soaked for 10 minutes.
