HOTFOAM™ concentrate is a fully synthetic foam compound developed to meet the requirements of high expansion systems using the inside air technique. It is suitable for appli cations where high quality, top performing foam concentrate is required and is intended for use as a 2% proportioned solution.
HOTFOAM concentrate forms a stable foam when expanded by extremely hot and aggressive combustion gases. Traditional high expansion foams and detergent foams often see expansion reduce by a half, or more. This drastically affects foam performance in a high expansion system.
Features
2% high expansion foam
Designed for inside air application
EN 1568, ISO 7203, and IMO approved
Suitable for use with fresh, salt, or hard water
Supplied ready to use in 20 L, 200 L and 1000 L packaging
Performance
HOTFOAM 2% foam concentrate is mostly used for inside air foam systems in enclosed spaces. HOTFOAM is suitable for a
number of applications, such as:
Warehouses
Flammable liquid storage protection
Tunnel facilities
Marine engine and pump rooms
Traditional outside air high expansion systems
HOTFOAM forms high expansion foam using inside air, including combustion gases. Expansion ratios through the HOTFOAM generators are typically between 600:1 and 700:1. The foam fills the protected space, suppresses the fire within it and prevents re-ignition. It can be used with fresh, sea or brackish water.
HOTFOAM is measured against international standards and specifications, including EN 1568 and IMO. Inside air HOTFOAM performance is verified against many tests and protocols, including IMO 1384. Testing includes performance evaluations on temperatures up to 1000°C.
