Foam and Antifreeze Foam
Foam concentrates are designed to meet a wide range of fire-fighting challenges. Aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) are suitable for ground, air and creating firebreaks on equipment to stop migration of fire. Foams are some of the most environmentally friendly products in their class in the world. A major advantage of foams is that they form a film on oils and diesels. This means they can follow the path of oil leaks that may start a fire away from a nominated risk area. Added to this the foam has a cooling effect and can dramatically reduce the heat in turbos and other high heat sources.
Environmentally formulated
Non-corrosive
98% organic compounds
Zero discharge of hazardous chemicals
Operating temperatures from -30°C to +60°C
Gas Agent
Gaseous agents can be used in electrical application where there is potential for overheating and fire. They can used where wires maybe exposed as they are non-conductive and form a flooding effect reducing oxygen in an area. The performance of the gases are relative to the room or area they occupy. As an example, if there are high winds and air flow, a gas system needs to be designed to allow for this as performance of flooding can be affected. This includes large ventilation and ducting that may draw out the gases before they can become fully effective.

Powder Agent
Powders have been commonly used in the marketplace for a long time. Dry chemical powder is an extremely effective fire-fighting agent that suppresses fire by interfering with the chain reaction of combustion by coating the surface of the burning material. The coating separates the fuel from the oxygen supply. They are tried and tested over a wide range of applications and is the most used agent for handheld extinguishers due to their diversity. Powder does have a draw back as it can leave a mess behind however this is outweighed by its effectiveness at fast knock down and reducing the likelihood of a fire spreading. Powder can be used on electrical and oil fires as it is non-conductive and reduces oxygen in the air as well as on the surface.
