[Your Brand Name] Foam Fire Extinguishers: Versatile A & B Class Fire Protection

Ensure comprehensive safety for your property with our advanced [Your Brand Name] Foam Fire Extinguishers. Engineered to tackle common Class A (solids) and Class B (flammable liquids) fires, these extinguishers are an essential component of any robust fire safety plan for commercial, industrial, and public spaces.

Why Choose Foam Fire Extinguishers?

Foam extinguishers provide a dual-action extinguishing method that is highly effective against specific fire types. They are particularly valued for their ability to not only knock down flames quickly but also prevent re-ignition, making them a cornerstone of fire safety.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dual-Class Fire Protection:
  • Class A Fires: Effectively extinguishes fires involving ordinary combustible materials like wood, paper, textiles, and plastics.
  • Class B Fires: Excellent for tackling fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oil, paints, and solvents.
• Rapid Knockdown & Smothering Action: The foam agent quickly spreads across the burning surface, creating a cooling blanket that separates the fuel from the oxygen supply, effectively smothering the fire.
• Prevents Re-ignition: The durable foam film or blanket created acts as a vapour barrier, significantly reducing the risk of fire re-flashing after initial extinguishment.
• Minimal Residual Damage (Compared to Powder): While requiring cleanup, foam leaves less residue and causes less damage to sensitive equipment compared to dry powder extinguishers, making it a preferred choice for many environments.
• High-Quality Construction:
  • Manufactured with robust, corrosion-resistant steel cylinders.
  • Equipped with a sturdy brass valve assembly for reliable operation.
  • Features a clear, easy-to-read pressure gauge for quick inspection of operational readiness.
• Easy to Operate: Designed for intuitive use, featuring a simple pull-pin and squeeze-handle operation with a controllable discharge for precise application.
• Certified Compliance: Our foam extinguishers are manufactured to meet stringent international and national safety standards, including EN3 certification, ensuring reliability and effectiveness.
• Variety of Sizes: Available in multiple capacities (e.g., 2L, 3L, 6L, 9L) to suit diverse fire risks and space requirements.

How it Works: The Science of Foam

Our Foam Fire Extinguishers utilise a highly effective Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) solution. When discharged, this solution works on multiple fronts:

1. Cooling: The water content in the foam cools the burning material, reducing its temperature below ignition point.
2. Smothering: The foam blanket spreads over the surface of the flammable liquid or solid, cutting off its oxygen supply, which is vital for combustion.
3. Vapour Suppression: A thin, aqueous film drains from the foam blanket and floats on top of flammable liquids, forming a barrier that suppresses flammable vapours and prevents re-ignition.

Ideal Applications:

Foam Fire Extinguishers are a versatile choice for a wide range of environments, including:

• Offices and Commercial Buildings
• Schools and Educational Facilities
• Hospitals and Healthcare Environments
• Workshops and Garages
• Factories and Industrial Units
• Warehouses
• Hotels and Restaurants (especially in kitchen areas for cooking oils, but check specific regulations for deep fat fryers)
• Residential Properties (larger homes, multi-dwelling units)

NOT suitable for:

• Class C Fires: Electrical fires (use CO2 or Dry Powder).
• Class D Fires: Flammable metals (require specialist extinguishers).
• Cooking Oil & Fat Fires (Class F): While some foam can work, wet chemical extinguishers are specifically designed and more effective for deep fat fryers.

Technical Specifications (Example for a 6L Unit):

(Specifications may vary slightly based on specific model and capacity.)

Maintenance & Recharging:

To ensure optimal performance and compliance, foam fire extinguishers require:

• Annual Servicing: By a competent person as per local regulations (e.g., BS 5306 Pt 3).
• Monthly Visual Inspections: To check pressure gauge, safety pin, and general condition.
• Recharging: Immediately after any use, even partial discharge, or after hydrostatic test intervals.
