RESPONDER Class A Foam Concentrate
Features
- Great option for CLASS A structural or wildland applications (ordinary combustible fires that burn ash: organic material such as wood, cloth, rubber and some plastics)
- Environmentally responsible formulation
- Pre-mix is stable for more than 30 days (using potable water), which is significantly longer than traditional Class A foam solutions
- Emulsifies Class B Hydrocarbon fuels
- Contains NO alcohols for higher flash point and compatibility with Class A/B Systems
- Can be used with fresh, brackish and sea water; exhibits good foamability, even in cold water
- Choose 5 gallon pail or 55 gallon drum
RESPONDER foam concentrate works in two ways. First, RESPONDER improves the penetrating capability of water. It reduces the surface tension of plain water which allows it to penetrate surfaces where water might normally run off, to reach deep-seated fires. This helps reduce the amount of water required to extinguish the fire and also provides quicker knockdown.
Secondly, RESPONDER increases the heat absorbing capabilities of water. Foaming ingredients give water the ability to adhere to vertical surfaces which allows the water longer contact with the fuel. The longer the water is in contact with the fuel, the more heat it is able to absorb.
A coating of Class A foam may also be used for exposure protection to prevent fuels from igniting by raising their moisture content and providing a tough protective barrier to an oncoming flame front.
Responder is designed for use in Class A/B foam systems and is excellent for Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS). This environmentally responsible formulation does not contain reportable components under SARA Title III, Section 313 of 40 CFR-372, or CERCLA.
