PROTEIN FOAM COMPOUND

APPROVAL : ISI Marked IS : 4989-PART-I
Tested by DIFR, TAC Approved
COMPOSITION : Based on hydroized protein with added foam stabilizers and metal salts.
APPLICATIONS : It is used to produce low expansion foam and is reliable agent for protection of hazards involving non-polar flammable liquids.

Protein foam produces a stable foam which flows over burning surfaces forming a cohesive continuous air excluding, cooling blanket.  Its water content also provide the cooling of fuel and of surfaces such as hot metal of tank shells.

It displays good fire resistance and stability at low cost. 
It is perfectly adapted for all types of nozzles, inductors, foam chambers and discharges.

The method of application consists in  projecting or spraying without violence.  The recommended  rate of application is 2.5 to 8 LPM / M2 in accordance with the medium concerned and the difficulties encountered.  
PROPORTIONING 
( Induction )		 : To obtain optimum foaming it is recommended that an induction of foam compound is 3 to 4 %
For long throw equipment and for adhesive foam, higher 5-6% foam induction is recommended.
EXPANSION : Depending on type of equipment, water pressure and induction, the expansion rates varies between 6 to 10.
COMPATIBILITY :

Protein foam is compatible in emergency use with other equivalent ISI marked protein base foam compound, but they must not be mixed together in storage containers.
STORAGE  :

Protein foam is to be stored in original sealed containers, or in tanks suitable for storage of protein foam compounds with temp range - 50C to + 500C
PACKING : 20 Ltrs Steel drums
20 / 30 Ltrs Polyethylene Jerry cans
