K-Foam Hydrocarbon
K-Foam Hydrocarbon
K-Foam Hydrocarbon outperforms new generation fluorinated fire foam products.
Our K-foam Hydrocarbon is fluorine-free foam for Class B fuel fires. This is an environmentally friendly solution which outperforms new generation AFFF fluorine containing products without the detrimental and toxic effects on human health or the environment Fluorine.
The K-foam Hydrocarbon is designed for quick fire knockdown due to its excellent mobility. It knocks down fires by the production of a dense polymeric blanket on the fuel surface, separating the fuel from oxygen. Due to its slow draining capability, it provides long term sealability and burnback resistance while sealing vapors and having a cooling effect due to a thick wet foam blanket.
Application
K-foam Hydrocarbon is used in fire suppression systems as well as manually to fight fires that involve hydrocarbon fuels such as crude oil, gasoline, and fuel oils.
The medium expansion foam can be used directly on hydrocarbon fires.
It effectively acts upon liquid fires as well including storage tank fuel and fuel spill.
The patent pending K-foam Hydrocarbon concentrate which sets a new standard for Class B firefighting has the following characteristics:
- Suitability to use with fresh or sea water.
- Applicable to long projection distances and heights.
- Durability on vertical surfaces such as aircraft and oil storage tanks.
- Viscosity similar to a quality 3×3 AFFF, compatible with standard proportioning and foam making devices, effectively a drop-in.
- Supports usage of standard nozzles and hand-lines for most applications.
