Description
Portable Fire Extinguishers Foam is a highly effective, water-based fire suppression unit designed to tackle fires involving both ordinary solid combustibles and, most notably, flammable liquids . These extinguishers contain Aqueous Film-Forming Foam or Alcohol-Resistant, which forms a cooling, smothering blanket over the fire.
Features:
- Smothering: Creating an airtight film or blanket over the surface of flammable liquids, cutting off the oxygen supply and suppressing flammable vapors. This is particularly effective for preventing re-ignition (flashback) of liquid fires.
- Cooling: The water content in the foam rapidly reduces the temperature of burning solids {Class A} fires) and helps cool the surface of liquid fuels.
- Class A: Fires involving ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, textiles, plastics).
- Class B: Fires involving flammable liquids (petrol, oils, lubricants, solvents, paint, and in the case of, even polar solvents like alcohol).
- Sizes: Commonly available in portable sizes such as 2 Litre, 3 Litre, 6 Litre, and 9 Litre, with 6L and 9L being standard for commercial and industrial use.
- Operating Mechanism: Typically a stored pressure unit. Operation involves pulling a safety pin, aiming the nozzle, and squeezing the operating level.
- Discharge: Discharged through designed to ensure the agent is applied gently and evenly to the.
