Coolaire Consolidated,
Inc. has a variety of foams that would
suit every application and hazard for your
facilities. There is a wide choice of foam
concentrates available and you can contact us for
any inquiry for any of the following:
Types of Foam
Agents: | |
| |
|
Aqueous
Film-Forming Foams (AFFF)
Based on combinations of
fluorochemical surfactants, hydrocarbon
surfactants and solvents, these agents require a
very low energy input to produce a high quality
foam and can be applied through a wide variety
of foam delivery systems. This versatility makes
AFFF agents the choice of municipal fire
departments, airports, and refineries,
manufacturing plants and any other operations
involving the transportation, processing and
handling of flammable liquids and
materials.

Alcohol-Resistant
AFFF Concentrate
This is based on AFFF concentrates to
which a polymer has been added to make them
effective on fires involving polar solvents
(methanol) as well as hydrocarbon-type fuels
(gasoline). These concentrates are the most
versatile of the foam agents.

Protein
Foams
This type of foams is recommended for the
extinguishment of class B fires involving
hydrocarbons. Typically these agents are used to
protect flammable and combustible liquids where
they are stored, transported and processed.
Protein foams are based on hydrolyzed protein,
stabilizers and preservatives. They produce a
highly stabilized mechanical foam with good
expansion properties and good re-ignition
(burnback) resistance
characteristics.

Fluoroprotein Foam
Concentrates
This type of foams is based on hydrolyzed
protein, stabilizers, preservatives and
synthetic fluorocarbon surfactants. In
applications involving hydrocarbon bulk storage
and handling such as refineries and
petrochemical operations, these agents offer
several advantages over protein foams. They
provide better control and extinguishing
ability, greater fluidity and superior
resistance to fuel contamination. These are
useful for hydrocarbon vapor suppression and
extinguishment of fuel-in-depth
fires.

High
Expansion Foams
This type of foams is based on
combinations of hydrocarbon surfactants and
solvents, and are used in foam generators – both
stationary and portable – for applying foam to
large areas in a total flooding or 3-dimensional
application such as warehouses, ship cargo holds
and mine shafts. These are effective
extinguishing agents for flammable liquid spill
fires of most types and in confined
areas.

Class A
Foams
Typically formulated from a combination
of specialty hydrocarbon surfactants,
stabilizers, inhibitors and solvents, this type
of foams reduces the surface tension of water
for improved wetting and penetrating
characteristics and creates a clinging foam
blanket that suppresses combustible vapors while
cooling the fuel. Proven effective in fighting
forest fires and many deep-seated fires such as
tires, paper, coal bunkers, wooden
structures.
