About this deal
Factories, offices, warehouses, garages and hostels are among locations where both foam fire extinguishers and CO2 fire extinguishers are often found housed together. Foam Fire Extinguisher Use If you are using a foam fire extinguisher on a solid material, simply point the nozzle at the base of the flames and cover the entire affected area until the flames have died out. This also means that foam fire extinguishers are good for putting out flammable liquid fires as they create a barrier between the surface of the flammable liquid and the flames themselves. The potential health risks of incinerating AFFF are still being investigated by EPA and state agencies. Surface water, groundwater and fish were reported to contain chemicals from firefighting foams that had been released by the local Royal Australian Air Force base prior to training protocol changes in 2008.
acquired the patent rights to a wetting agent with superior cooling properties that is effective on Class A, Class B, Class D as well as pressurized and 3-dimensional fires involving both hydro carbon based fuels and polar solvents such as alcohol and ethanol. With their ease of use and effectiveness, foam fire extinguishers provide peace of mind and are an essential safety measure for any location.The P50 Foam fire extinguisher has excellent fire fighting capabilities making it effective on class A materials such as wood, paper and textiles and class B fires which are fuelled by paints, solvents, oils and petrochemical products. Rather, point the foam extinguisher hose towards the fire’s base where the burning liquid or combusting solids are. Firstly, they are mainly water-based and so have the same cooling effect as water extinguishers, putting the fire out by lowering the temperature. The foam not only cools down the fire but also helps to seal the surface, preventing the release of flammable vapours.
With burning liquid fires, the foam from the AFFF fire extinguisher actually floats on the surface of the liquid. Specialist dry powder extinguishers work in the same way as standard dry powder extinguishers but are for use with flammable metals only. All of our replacement models are suitable and certified for use on live electricity of up to 1000 Volts (at 1m safety distance).High-expansion foams are used when an enclosed space, such as a basement or hangar, must be quickly filled. Look for extinguishers made from high-quality materials that can withstand various environmental conditions.
Also included is the 6 LITRE AFFF foam fire extinguisher which is ideal for class A and B type fires and is suitable for Hospitals, Hotels, Restaurants, Clothing and Fabric Industries, Industrial Units, Offices, Kitchen Areas, Domestic Properties and much more. Alcohol-resistant foam must be bounced off of a surface and allowed to flow down and over the liquid to form its membrane, compared to standard AFFF that can be sprayed directly onto the fire.They can effectively combat flammable liquid fires and provide comprehensive fire safety when paired with CO2 extinguishers for electrical fires.
