We can not use only one kind of foam concentrate to extinguish every kind of fire. The extinguisher to be used depends on the factors causing a fire – agent that caused a fire ( electrical damage, gas leakage, fuel, alcohol, etc), place ( indoors or outdoors) and so on.

Hi-ex foam concentrate commonly known as detergent concentrates is one of the types of foam concentrates lets have a look at its properties, usage and how it works!

You must be aware of which foam concentrate is to be used at what time!

HI-EX FOAM CONCENTRATE

These multipurpose synthetic foams are typically a blend of high activity synthetic foaming agents and foam stabilizers, specially formulated to produce high-quality stable foam.

It is comprised of fatty alcohols, alkyl sulphates and butyl carbitol. They expand at high ratios to quickly form voluminous foam for specific applications in fire and vapour suppression.

USAGE

It is often used to suppress fire in large buildings with valuable property in it :

Warehouses
Engine rooms
Transformer buildings
Cable tunnels
Underground storage facilities
Basements
Ship holds
Aircraft Hangars
It is used to extinguish class A fire.

HOW IT WORKS

High expansion foam agents are highly effective fire suppression tools in open and indoor spaces. HI-EX foam can also effectively reduce vapour concentrations downwind from hazardous low boiling point gaseous products, such as ammonia spills. It also has the capability of completely flooding large rooms and enclosures with foam thus suppressing massive fires with the least amount of water.
