Description
Fire Extinguisher 9Lt Foam is a highly effective, water-based fire suppression unit that uses a specialized Foam agent, typically Aqueous Film-Forming Foam or Alcohol-Resistant This size is a standard requirement for commercial and industrial settings where Class A (solid combustibles) and especially Class B (flammable liquids) fires are the primary hazards.
Features:
- Smothering/Blanketing: The foam quickly forms a durable, aqueous film or blanket on the surface of flammable liquids, cutting off the oxygen supply and suppressing flammable vapors.
- Cooling: The water content in the foam cools the burning material, aiding in extinguishment and preventing re-ignition.
- Class A: Fires involving ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, textiles). The water in the foam cools the material.
- Class B: Fires involving flammable liquids (petrol, oil, lubricants, paints). The foam blanket is highly effective.
- 9 Litre Capacity: This is the maximum common portable size for foam extinguishers, providing a prolonged and powerful discharge (often 40 to 60 seconds) and a long range to safely attack substantial Class B liquid fires.
- Operating Mechanism (Stored Pressure): The unit is a stored pressure type, featuring an external pressure gauge on the valve assembly for continuous verification of charge readiness.
