HIGH
EXPANSION FOAM COMPOUND :-
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION :-
Quality 'HIEX'
Foam Compound is a special composition of surfactants solubilisers,
stabilizers and antifreeze agent designed to produce foam with low
drainage time,
superior fluidity and fire resistance.
QUALITY HIEX
Foam compound is suitable for use with low, medium and high expansion
foam equipment for
rapid blanketing of large surfaces or total flooding of enclosed
volumes.
Use at
concentration between 1% and 3% with either fresh water or sea water
very stable foam can be produced for indoor class A fires involving
paper products, plastics and rubber.
'HIEX' liquid
with medium expansion foam making equipment may be used for the control
of cryogenic flammable liquid fires ( B Class ) and for the supression
of vapour release from toxic liquid spillage and offers advantages over
low expansion foams for these risks.
When used with
High Expansion Foam Generator, it produces three dimensional foam which
is suitable for fires in high volume areas such as engine or boiler
room, aircraft hangers, shipholds, turbine peaking units railroad
accidents and other inaccessible places where the application of
conventional fire fighting agents is more difficult and where damage
must be kept to a minimum.
| PRINCIPLES
OF OPERATION |
: |
HIEX
Foam Controls Class A fires by oxygen exclusion and limiting heat
radiation.
Effective smoke and heat barriers are quickly created permitting
other fire fighting equipment to tackle the
seat of the fire.
Class B fire fighting is efficient since HIEX foam very
quickly
covers flammable liquid surface without splashing and helps to
cut off flammable vapor releases.
