Founded—decades of foam-application expertise
GASTON SYSTEMS - A NAVIS-OWNED BRAND
Precise chemistry.
Less Liquid.
Patented foam generation and application technology places chemistry uniformly onto textiles, nonwovens and advanced materials—with controlled add-on, penetration and moisture.
500+
Installations with proven experience around the world
5%
Wet pickup as low as 5%, depending on application
100:1
Controlled foam blow ratio capability, up to 100:1
Brand purpose
Put the chemistry precisely where the product needs it.
Traditional wet application adds far more liquid than the chemistry requires—increasing migration, drying demand and wastewater.
Gaston Systems converts the chemistry into a controlled foam, making precise add-on and control of sidedness possible with far less liquid.
Technology families
Foam platforms engineered around the function.
Each system is configured around the substrate, chemistry, penetration, width, speed and finished-product objective.
01
CFS® foam application
Precise, uniform chemical application onto or into open-width substrates at low moisture.
02
Foam dyeing
Controlled color delivery with reduced liquid, drying demand and process waste.
03
Functional finishing
Apply softeners, binders, resins, repellents and other finishes with controlled add-on and penetration.
04
Process development
Evaluate chemistry, foamability and penetration before scaling to production.
Customer outcomes
Use less liquid. Gain more control.
Foam is the carrier, not the finish. The technology controls how much chemistry is applied, where it goes and how consistently it arrives.
Precise chemical add-on
Uniform full-width application
Controlled penetration and sidedness
Lower moisture and drying demand
Repeatable, recipe-driven production
Flexible chemistry and substrate capability
Featured solution
Gaston CFS®
Low-moisture chemical foam application.
CFS coordinates foam generation, density, flow and full-width application. Its parabolic applicator distributes chemistry uniformly while allowing precise control of penetration.
- Controlled microbubble foam generation
- Uniform application across the working width
- One-sided, two-sided or through-application
- PLC recipes and remote diagnostics
