FOAM FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Firefighting with foam is regarded as one of the fastest, safest, and most reliable methods of putting out a fire. Foam fire extinguishers, or AFFF extinguishers offer some key advantages as it contains water as a primary element, when applied to a Class A fire involving combustible solids Foam extinguishers not only cool the burning material but also form a chemical barrier or film that separates the flames from the airborne oxygen necessary to support combustion. Weight for AFFF is a substantially more effective fire suppressant than water. A 6 litre foam fire extinguisher has the same fire rating as a 9 litre water. Certainly for commercial offices, businesses and residential blocks this provides an opportunity to utilise this advantage to install more manageable lighter weight units without compromising on fire safety. There is also a cost saving to be gained by opting for a foam extinguisher. If weight and cost and saving were not enough,the properties of AFFF foam extinguishers make them highly effective at combatting Class B flammable liquid fires, typically petrol, diesel , paints and solvents. This added versatility makes them ideal for garages and petrol forecourts and they are the extinguisher of choice for motor sports in general.
