Foam extinguishers are ideal for multi-risk situations where both class A and B risks exist. Class B fires, those involving flammable liquids such a petrol, diesel, spirits, solvents and lubricants, can be tackled very effectively.
The extinguishers, which are available in both gas cartridge and stored pressure versions, contain an aqueous film forming foam which gives rapid flame knock-down and has a blanketing effect, smothering the flames and sealing the vapours to prevent re-ignition.
All models, with the exception of the Foam Branchpipe, have a spray nozzle which produces a very effective spread of foam, even when used by an inexperienced operator.
