Thanks to its wetting and foaming properties. BIO FOR N is highly efficient for fighting class A solid fuel fires such as wildland forest fires, urban fires, industrial fires, waste recycling plants, as well as small class B hydrocarbon fires.
Its
wetting capability allows water to penetrate deeply into the solid, and
its foaming capability allowing it to adhere to vertical surfaces
resulting in quicker fire extinguishment and long burnback resistance.
BIO
FOR N class A foam is Newtonian and is an environmentally-friendly
solutions: 100% fluorine-free foam (F3) and totally biodegradable.
Fire Extinguishing Performances
BIO
FOR N is a very concentrated wetting foaming agent. It forms a foam
blanket highly effective at low concentrations, proportioned from 0.1%
(very concentrated) on class A and 0.5% on hydrocarbon fires.
- Wetting properties: BIO FOR N wetting properties improve
penetrating capability of water. It reduces the water surface tension
and penetrated deeply into the solid. The use of BIO FOR N foam
concentrate results in faster fire extinguishment and prevents fire from
re-ignition.
- Foaming properties: BIO FOR N foaming
properties give the ability to adhere to vertical surfaces for a long
period with minimal run off and provide cooling effect. BIO FOR N
foaming capability is effective to fight minor class B fires.
The application of a wide strip of BIO FOR N during a forest fire for
example, increases solid moisture content, providing a protective
barrier to oncoming fire (wet application) or preventing solids from
re-ignition.
Features
- BIO FOR N class A foam is an environmentally-friendly solutions, 100% fluorine-free and totally biodegradable.
