Foam Fire Extinguisher
Foam Fire Extinguisher
Foam fire extinguishers work by quickly covering flames with a film layer. This film suffocates the fire, reducing fire risk and burn injuries.
How Do I Use Foam Fire Extinguishers?
Foam extinguishers are identifiable by their cream-coloured label, which indicates their appropriate use. They contain AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam), an ideal substance for spraying on multiple types of fires such as Class A and B fires. Just one extinguisher unit will cover both wood, paper and fabric fires or flammable liquids fires.
What Are the Advantages of Foam Extinguishers?
Our Foam fire extinguishers come in a range of sizes to suit your needs. These extinguishers protect homes, offices, and beyond from multiple fire classifications. Each unit also features illustrative instructions to allow for easy use if emergencies arise. Simply aim the nozzle at the base of a fire, compress the handle and release the contents to safely extinguish flames.
These units protect against Class A fires involving paper, fabric, cloth, and flammable material. They also protect against Class B fires involving flammable liquids and gas.
AFFF foam extinguishers are a great choice for today's office environment. Their highly effective performance and lightweight design compared to their water-filled cousins makes them a suitable option. Their special nozzle ensures that you'll avoid an electric shock even if you mistakenly spray live electrical equipment.
Foam extinguishers featuring the MED-approved wheel logo are suitable for marine vessels, including yachts, boats, and ships. Engine bay rooms and compartments pose a fire risk, which is what makes MED-approved foam extinguishers an excellent safety choice.
Warning: NOT suitable for cooking oils (see Class F extinguishers).
They are best combined with a CO2 extinguisher to ensure complete fire protection for any premises.
