Fire & Rescue Service Applications

Flourosurfactant Free Foam Concentrates

Our customers represent all sectors of the fire protection industry.  When we supply the Fire and Rescue Service both in the UK and Rep Ireland, the central applications are for fluorosurfactant free foams and accurate foam delivery systems that can induct between 0.1 and 6% foam concentrate.

The use of Class A water additives for the Fire Services is increasing year on year, as the benefits of their use becomes increasingly apparent and those experiences are shared amongst the Fire Brigades. These experiences are not restricted to rural land fires. They include urban applications where extended use of the water on main line vehicles with water additive percentages as low as 0.2% can effectively treble the extinguishing performance over water alone.
