6ltr Foam Fire Extinguisher - AFFF - FireShield

Product Information

Safelincs has discontinued all AFFF foam extinguishers and is offering suitable AFFF foam-replacement extinguishers including the P50 Fluorine-Free Foam Service-Free Extinguishers. In general, the powders used were sodium bicarbonate and aluminium sulfate, with small amounts of saponin or liquorice added to stabilise the bubbles. Depending on specific conditions in your workplace, you may need a number of foam fire extinguishers, perhaps in conjunction with other types of fire extinguishers, such as CO2 or dry powder extinguishers. We would just like to express our absolute gratitude with the support of these upcoming projects we have found ourselves working on.

Surface water, groundwater and fish were reported to contain chemicals from firefighting foams that had been released by the local Royal Australian Air Force base prior to training protocol changes in 2008. Chemical foam is a stable solution of small bubbles containing carbon dioxide with lower density than oil or water, and exhibits persistence for covering flat surfaces. The fire risk from the different classes of fire in your business premises will determine which fire extinguisher types you need. Providing service-free fire extinguisher coverage, the 6ltr Black Edition P50 extinguisher is ideal for the modern home, hospitality sector and office buildings.It also allows foam fire extinguishers to put out flammable liquid fires, by creating a barrier between the liquid’s surface and the flames.

Additionally, consider the recommended lifespan of the extinguishers before they need to be replaced.Training in the use of foam fire extinguishers for flammable liquids and solids forms part of this training. The foam extinguisher works by forming a blanket of foam over the fire, smothering it and preventing re-ignition. As of 2017, the Australian Department of Defence was dealing with two class action suits brought by those affected by contamination at Williamtown and at Army Aviation Centre Oakey. Foam extinguishers also cover class B fires, caused by the combustion of liquids, and materials that liquify, including petrol, oils, paints, tar etc. Our Foam Fire Extinguishers are effective and user-friendly, ensuring that in the event of a fire, your staff can respond promptly and safely.

Specialist dry powder extinguishers are only used on flammable metals, such as titanium and magnesium. Compliance with British Standards: Ensure that the foam fire extinguishers you are considering purchasing comply with the relevant British Standards, such as BS EN3. The residents of the area were advised to not consume any bore water, in addition to eggs and seafood from fauna exposed to the contaminated water.

Foam fire extinguishers are found in numerous factories, business premises and residential properties. The extinguishers are kitemarked and are supplied fully charged and with the wall brackets included. Firstly, they are mainly water-based and so have the same cooling effect as water extinguishers, putting the fire out by lowering the temperature.
