Premium Water Foam Type Fire Extinguisher
Unmatched Versatility & Powerful Fire Suppression for Class A & B Fires
The Water Foam Type Fire Extinguisher is a highly effective and versatile fire suppression solution designed to tackle common fires involving solid combustibles and flammable liquids. Utilizing a sophisticated blend of water and a specialized foam concentrate, this extinguisher delivers a rapid knockdown of flames, superior cooling, and a durable blanketing effect that prevents re-ignition.
Whether for commercial, industrial, or residential environments, our Water Foam extinguisher provides reliable protection against a broad spectrum of fire risks, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
Key Features:
- Dual-Action Fire Fighting: Combines the cooling properties of water with the smothering and sealing capabilities of foam for comprehensive fire suppression.
- Highly Effective on Class A Fires: Rapidly extinguishes fires involving solid materials like wood, paper, textiles, and plastics by cooling the fuel below its ignition point.
- Excellent for Class B Fires: Creates a robust foam blanket that starves liquid fires (petrol, oil, paints, solvents) of oxygen, preventing reignition and vapor release.
- Superior Knockdown Power: The foam agent quickly blankets the fire, reducing flame spread and allowing for faster control and extinguishment.
- Prevents Re-Ignition: The durable foam layer creates a barrier between the fuel and oxygen, significantly reducing the risk of the fire flaring up again.
- High-Quality Construction: Manufactured with robust, corrosion-resistant steel cylinders and durable brass valve assemblies for long-lasting reliability.
- Easy-to-Read Pressure Gauge: Provides an immediate visual indication of the extinguisher's operational readiness.
- Ergonomic Design: Features a user-friendly squeeze grip operation and a comfortable handling bracket for quick deployment.
- Certified & Compliant: Meets stringent national and international safety standards (e.g., EN3, CE marked, Kitemarked where applicable).
How It Works:
The Water Foam extinguisher expels a mixture of water and AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) or similar high-performance foam concentrate under pressure. Upon discharge, the foam expands and creates a thick, resilient blanket over the burning material.
- Smothering: The foam blanket separates the oxygen supply from the fuel source, effectively suffocating the fire.
- Cooling: The water content in the foam absorbs heat, cooling the fuel and preventing reignition.
- Sealing: For Class B fires, the foam forms an aqueous film on the surface of the liquid, preventing flammable vapors from escaping and feeding the fire.
Fire Classes & Ideal Applications:
- Class A Fires (Combustible Solids):
- Wood, paper, cardboard
- Textiles, fabrics, clothing
- Plastics, rubber
- Coal, household refuse
- Ideal For: Offices, schools, homes, warehouses, factories, retail spaces, libraries.
- Class B Fires (Flammable Liquids):
- Petrol, diesel, oil
- Paints, varnishes, solvents
- Alcohols, greases (not cooking oils/fats)
- Ideal For: Garages, workshops, vehicle repair centers, fuel storage areas, manufacturing plants.
Important Safety Note:
- NOT suitable for electrical fires (Class C/E): Water and foam are conductive and can pose an electrocution risk. Always use a CO2 or Dry Powder extinguisher for electrical fires.
- NOT suitable for flammable gases (Class C/E):
- NOT suitable for combustible metals (Class D):
- Limited effectiveness on cooking oils/fats (Class F/K): Specialized Wet Chemical extinguishers are recommended for these.
