FOAM CONCENTRATES

The extensive line of FIRECHEM Foam Products is unique for their knockdown efficiency, superior burn back resistance and eco friendly quality. They include the finest foam concentrates for both Class A and Class B fire types.

AQUEUOUS FILM FORMING FOAM (AFFF)

FIRECHEM Aquous Film Forming Foam concentrate suppresses fire rapidly, providing excellent burn back performance, better drain type and low application rates.

FIRECHEM AFFF’s composition consists of Fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants blended with various solvents and preservatives. It produces a vapour – sealing film that spreads rapidly over the fuel surface to provide an immediate control over fire.

AFFF is available in three different types : Type 1% , Type 3 % and Type 6 % .

ALCOHOL RESISTANT AFFF (AR-AFFF)

FIRECHEMAR-AFFF is an eco -friendly, totally synthetic blend of surfactants and special polymers. The foam creates a physical polymer – membrane barrier between the foam blanket and fuel surface. It is highly effective against hydrocarbon fires and with the addition of special polymers, it is also highly effective against polar solvents. It is highly versatile and so eliminates the need to stock a variety of foam types.

It gives a superior burn back resistance and post fire security. It is used in high risk situations where hydrocarbons (such as crude oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation kerosene ) and /or polar solvents ( such as alcohols , ketones , esters  and ethers ) are stored , processed or transported.

AR-AFFF is available in three different proportioning types : 1% X 3 % , 3 % X 3 % and 3 % X 6 % .

PROTEIN & FLUOROPROTEIN

Foam produced by protein foam technology is tough, stable and heat resistant and covers the burning hydrocarbon fuel surface rapidly. The high stability of the foam blanket ensures the risk of re-ignition and provides excellent protection against ‘burn-back’, should any inaccessible pockets of fire remain.

FIRECHEM Protein Foam Concentrate’s composition is based on a natural protein foaming agent and contains no harmful synthetic detergent or glycol ether.

This is available in two different types : FIRECHEM 3% and FIRECHEM 6 % .

FIRECHEM FFFP is a unique combination of a rapid fire knockdown quality of conventional film forming AFFF with a tough cohesive foam blanket based on protein base material, providing high level of post fire security and burn back resistance as a top quality fluoroprotein.

FIRECHEM FFFP’s formulation is based on advanced protein foam technology containing hydrolysed protein, fluorochemical surface active agent and preservatives to achieve the maximum synergetic effect.

AR-FFFP is multi-purpose natural protein based foam for use on a wide range of both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires . It contains special hydrophilic polymers producing a thick layer if applied on chemicals. It generates a fast flowing foam resistant against burn back with high insulating protection to heat and chemical destruction, if applied on any kind of fuel. It is suitable with all types of known equipment and is also compatible dry chemical powders.

HI-EX

FIRECHEM Foam concentrate can be used with high expansion equipment to combat three dimensional fires where total flooding is the objective such as paint booths , paper ware houses, airplane hangers and mines. The long lasting foam also helps to prevent re-igniting.

The large volume of foam produced blankets the area being protected and prevents air from reaching the fire. High Expansion Foam Concentrates are suitable with low, medium and high foam generating equipments.

CLASS A

FIRECHEM manufactures a wide range of Class A Foam Concentrates for use in a variety of firefighting applications. When proportioned with water, Class A foam concentrates change the water properties, reducing the surface tension allowing greater penetration into Class A fuels.

A mixture of foaming and wetting agents, our Class A foam concentrates also give water a superior foaming ability so it clings to surfaces with minimal run off, which speeds extinguishment and reduces water usage. In addition to wild land operations, FIRECHEM Class A foam is effective in fighting many deep – seated fires, such as paper, tires and wooden structures.

FLUORINE FREE

FIRECHEM has designed the Fluorine Free Foam to control and reduce the volume of harmful chemicals used in foam formulations. Fluorine Free Foam Concentrate is specially formulated to meet the growing demand for environmentally benign training foams. It is completely biodegradable and is available in three different types.

With this you can virtually fight any type of fire.

FOAM

FIRECHEM Foam type extinguisher is used for Classes A & B fires. Foam spray extinguishers are not recommended for fires involving electricity, but are safer than water if inadvertently sprayed onto live electrical apparatus. FIRECHEM has two types of Foam type Fire Extinguishers which are stored pressure type and cartridge type.

Wet chemical extinguishers are designed for use on Class K/F fires involving cooking oils and fats, such as lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, maize oil and butter. It is extremely effective as the wet chemical rapidly knocks the flames out, cools the burning oil and chemically reacts to form a soap- like solution, sealing the surface and preventing re-ignition. Independent fire tests have established that it is capable of extinguishing a fire in a deep fryer.

The extinguisher is easy to use producing a gentle but highly effective spray. The gentle application helps prevent hot oil splashing onto the user. An added benefit is that they are also suitable for use on free burning materials ( Class A ) such as wood paper and fabrics and are also effective on flammable liquids ( Class B ).

FLAME  -O – GUARD – DC

In the event of fire, the water-borne Flame -O-Guard -C fire protection coating for electrical cables form an insulating layer which delays short-circuiting and prevents spread of flame, thus maintaining the supply of electricity for a prolonged period of time.

DUST SUPRESSION AGENTS

Application of these products not only ensure dust control as required by the mining and environmental laws but in doing so effectively, it may ensure higher productivity and economy of operations. More and more mining projects, powder houses, cement plants, steel plants etc are going in for these products as a total solution to dust problems.

OIL SPILL DISPERSANT

Dispersants can be an effective oil spill response strategy. They are capable of quickly removing significant quantities of oil from the sea surface by transferring it into the water column where it is broken down by natural processes. Significant environmental and economic benefits can be achieved, particularly when other at-sea response techniques are limited by weather conditions or the availability of resources. This chemical is used to reduce offshore oil pollution. These chemicals contain surface active agents ( surfactants ) in a solvent base, which are absorbed at the oil/water interface and lower the inter facial tension.
