The surfactants in Class A foam concentrate significantly reduce water\u2019s surface tension and, when mixed with air, create a superior foam blanket that surrounds fuels with a thick foam blanket. This creates a barrier between the fuel and the fire, knocking down the fire faster than water alone, and allowing fire fighters to see the areas of application. Making the water more effective reduces the amount of water needed to extinguish the fire, reduces water damage and increases fire fighter safety through quicker knockdown and reduced mop-up\/overhaul requirements.<\/p><p>Starting with our workhorse PHOS-CHEK<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> WD881, Perimeter Solutions offers a portfolio of Class A Foam Concentrate products that can suit virtually any Class A

Foam helps achieve faster fire knockdown. This benefit reduces firefighter fatigue and cuts down water damage. PHOS-CHEK foam can help complete overhaul up to three times faster than plain water because it holds water on the fuel longer allowing it to penetrate and soak into the fuels more effectively. Using less water also reduces the chance of ceiling collapse. The ability of fire department companies to quickly return to service is seen as a significant advantage and an improvement in the level of service they can provide.<\/li><\/ul><p>Protection of structures adjacent to the fire is another case where PHOS-CHEK\u2019s foam blanket is valuable. For vertical exposures, PHOS-CHEK foam will create a thick foam blanket, which will reflect radiant heat, allow the exposure to absorb water for prolonged protection, and help insulate the surface.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Vehicle fires:<\/strong>\u00a0PHOS-CHEK WD881 Class A foam is also used successfully for vehicle fires. Foam coats and smothers fires in the engine compartment. The penetrating power effectively helps to extinguish fires in the interior compartment where fabric and carpet are involved.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Nuisance fires:\u00a0<\/strong>The same coating and penetrating power of PHOS-CHEK foam is useful to fight fires in garbage dumps, dumpsters, and trash piles. Some of these types of fires often require expensive heavy equipment and take considerable time to pull apart and overhaul when using water alone.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Bee attacks:<\/strong>\u00a0Class A foam has been found to be highly effective in neutralizing attacking bee swarms. The use of PHOS-CHEK WD881 foam allows for water to adhere to the bees better. Wet bees cannot fly.

Tires are among the toughest fires to extinguish. Water alone on tires simply beads up and rapidly rolls off. The reduced surface tension of PHOS-CHEK Class A foam allows water to sheet out and cover the tire surface and to penetrate deeper into the piles. The foam blanket created with 0.1% to 1.0% foam concentrate builds up a thick layer of water on the tire surface. The more water available, the more heat it can remove from the fire. The longer the water remains on the surface, the more time is available for water to absorb its full heat capacity, thus making it more efficient.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-156f87c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"156f87c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Coal Mine Fires:<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e8c354 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e8c354\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>PHOS-CHEK foam can be used to extinguish fires in and around coal mining operations.

Only 8 gallons of PHOS-CHEK WD881 was used to control vapors of HCL at this incident.

Logging slash often is burned intentionally to clear land for reforestation. In order to reduce fire hazards, areas of extensive weed growth are reduced by the combination of herbicides and prescribed burning.<\/p><p>PHOS-CHEK WD881 Class A foam is a cost-effective tool to help manage prescribed burns and reduce smoke generation. Foam\u2019s ability to cling and coat grasses, brush, and trees with thick layers of water is useful to build wet lines from which to start a fire; to reinforce control lines, to protect valuable trees bordering the burn site; to protect structures, fences and other resources within the burn; to protect seed trees within the burn; to reduce flame height and rate of spread as fire approaches control lines; to help prevent and control spot fires outside the burn.
