Description

Three basic components are necessary: foam concentrate, water, and air. When these three components are correctly and continuously mixed, a homogeneous foam blanket is obtained that is delivered to the burning substance, extinguishing the flames through the mechanism of cooling, separation of the flame source from the oxygen, and suppression of the vapours.

A wide range of components is necessary to have available a good foam system: foam mixers, bladder tanks, foam branch pipes, foam nozzles, foam monitors, etc.

A proper foam concentrate, with a proper mixing concentration – generally from 1% to 6% – must be chosen. Particular care must be taken to the choice of type of foam concentrate, which depends on the type of fire to be extinguished: fluorine protein foam, synthetic foam, aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) foam, and pseudo plastic foam.

Our team is capable to assist you with the right choice of foam concentrate and the related foam system components.
