Foam Fire Extinguisher

Our Foam fire extinguishers have undergone a major transformation over the years. They originally came with a thick and gloopy texture. The foams were rather smelly due to the use of high animal protein content.

Conversely, modern Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) is more evolved and advanced. It provides a more effective solution when it comes to fire extinguishing.

This type of extinguisher is typically indicated by a blue band above the instructions. It is designed to extinguish class A and B fires. Class A encompasses fires triggered or involving a number of materials, including rubber, different types of plastics, textiles, paper, and wood.

On the other hand, class B covers flammable liquids. Foam extinguishers are available in different sizes to suit various applications and requirements.
