It comes with a bracket to attach to a wall but I'd never risk putting it on a hollow wall as it is very heavy. Remember to never aim a foam fire extinguisher directly at the flames when you extinguish flammable liquid fires or those that involve flammable solids. AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foams) Foam Fire Extinguishers are suitable to fight burning solids such as wood as well as liquid fires such as burning petrol. Alcohol-resistant aqueous film-forming foams (AR-AFFF) are foams resistant to the action of alcohols and can form a protective film.

Foam fire extinguishers come in several sizes, with a 6-litre foam extinguisher being the most common. In 2020, state government agencies in the US are planning to dispose of firefighting foam, either by incineration or landfilling. A foam extinguisher uses a blanket of foam when discharged to smother flames, soak the burning materials and generally cool the situation through the evaporation of the water.The discovery led to the banning of all forms of fishing in the waters of Fullerton Cove until the beginning of October 2016. Extinguisher – The foam extinguishers are a lot smaller than their standard water equivalents but carry the same Class A Fire rating. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Using mechanical action, a liquid protein-based concentrate, made from soy protein, was mixed with water in either a proportioner or an aerating nozzle to form air bubbles with the free-flowing action.

Our range of Class A rated water mist extinguishers are the perfect replacement for these locations. These particles ‘suffocate’ the fire and also create a wall of mist between the fire and the person using the extinguisher, reducing the feeling of heat.

The new design, a strong plastic base skirt and brass valve assemblies ensure the units are competent even in the harshest of conditions. In any case, the paperwork that came with the item recommends the bracket be attached to wall with stone or wood behind it. You can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time, and we agree never to sell your personal information on to third parties. We strongly recommend ONLY using a CO2 extinguisher or a Dry Powder extinguisher for electrical fire risk.

With their ease of use and effectiveness, foam fire extinguishers provide peace of mind and are an essential safety measure for any location. Secondly, they contain ‘Aqueous Film Forming Foam’ (this is why they are also known as AFFF foam extinguishers). Although the advantages of a foam fire extinguisher are plentiful, there are also certain disadvantages attached to a foam extinguisher. A suitable solution for small work spaces or some commercial vehicles, 3ltr foam extinguishers are compact and easy to control.This is an additional safety measure intended to protect individuals from inadvertently using a foam fire extinguisher on an electrical fire. If your AFFF foam fire extinguishers have passed the 35kV conductivity test, they are safe for accidental use on electrical equipment. Ensure that the extinguishers are not too heavy or bulky, making them difficult to handle in case of emergencies.

Usually, your extinguisher servicing engineer will remove your old extinguishers against a small charge. High-expansion foams have an expansion ratio over 200–1000 and are suitable for enclosed spaces such as hangars, where quick filling is needed.

Manufactured with prestigious environments in mind, the stainless steel 9 litre foam is often partnered with a polished aluminium 2kg CO2 extinguisher. We would just like to express our absolute gratitude with the support of these upcoming projects we have found ourselves working on. Protein foams include regular protein foam (P), fluoroprotein foam (FP) (a mixture of protein foam and fluorinated surfactants), film-forming fluoroprotein (FFFP), [5] [ full citation needed] alcohol-resistant fluoroprotein foam (AR-FP), and alcohol-resistant film-forming fluoroprotein (AR-FFFP).
