Foam for Fire
Foam system for fire suppression are commonly installed in industrial areas with Class B fire risks, such as fires involving flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, thinners, and paint. Unlike hydrants that use pressurized water, foam fire suppression system is the most effective solution for liquid-based fires. Since water and oil do not mix, using water on flammable liquids can spread the fire, making it more dangerous.
Foam for fire suppression works by covering the flammable liquid, cutting off essential fire elements such as air and heat. Foam fire sprinkler system and foam nozzle fire suppression components ensure fast and effective fire control. Additionally, fire fighting foam system is designed to extinguish the fire, while the foam inductor fire suppression mechanism optimizes foam distribution. Foam fire suppression system is the best choice for industrial and oil-related fire hazards, providing increased safety and fire prevention.
