10 Overview Foam and wetting agents Protein foams Synthetic agents P FP FFFP FFFP-AR wetting agent S S- AR AFFF AFFF-AR Special foams Fire extinguisher FETTEX training 10

11 How does a wetting agent like UltraWet works? 11

12 12

13 13

14 What does that mean for real Life? 1. this effect on every Class A fire - water lost surface tension - penetrating the surface of the Class A material 2. Less water needed - more efficent, less destruction and damage - first minutes huge impact with minimal resoucres 3. same effect with class A foams - from draining water (but foamy) 14

15 Overview Foam and wetting agents Protein foams Synthetic agents P FP FFFP FFFP-AR wetting agent S S- AR AFFF AFFF-AR Special foams Fire extinguisher FETTEX training 15

16 Why synthetics or multi purpose foam 1. all fluorine free non-alcohol resitant foams - low expansion foam - medium expansion foam - high expansion foam + wetting agent or CAFS % biodegradable 2. different induction rates - 3% I 1% I 0,5%. 0,3% availble 16

17 Why synthetics or multi purpose foam Depends on the task/incident you need to face - Chose foam or wetting effect - Chose your tool (cooling, throwing length, quantity ) - Chose the environmental impact - Chose training options 17

18 Successful foam attack with synthetic foams - correct induction rate - for class A fires non-aspirated or foam - for class B fires (non-polar) always aspirated (foam expansion ratio 1:5) - for class B fires (non polar) gentle application 18

21 Overview Foam and wetting agents Protein foams Synthetic agents P FP FFFP FFFP-AR wetting agent S S- AR AFFF AFFF-AR Special foams Fire extinguisher FETTEX training 21

22 Synthetic foam (AR alcohol resistant) - same like multi purpose foam (sometimes better rating) - additional polymers for alcohol resistance - without fluor surfactance - for example MOUSSOL-FF 3/6 different induction rates 22

23 Overview Foam and wetting agents Protein foams Synthetic agents P FP FFFP FFFP-AR wetting agent S S- AR AFFF AFFF-AR Special foams Fire extinguisher FETTEX training 23

24 Overview alcohol resistant and water film forming foam concentrates Synthetic agents wetting agent S S-AR AFFF AFFF-AR MOUSSOL APS 1x3 MOUSSOL APS 1/3 F-0 Premium MOUSSOL APS LV 0,5x0,5 MOUSSOL APS 3% MOUSSOL APS 3/3 F-15 Premium MOUSSOL APS LV 1x1 MOUSSOL APS F-15 MOUSSOL APS 3/6 F-15 Premium MOUSSOL APS LV 1x3 MOUSSOL APS LV 3x3 24

25 How does a MOUSSOL-APS works? 1. On non-polar Liquids (like diesel, crude oil, gasoline) - works like an AFFF and creates a µm water layer 25

26 Overview foam concentrates film forming foams 26

27 27

28 How does a MOUSSOL-APS works? 1. On non-polar Liquids (like diesel, crude oil, gasoline) - works like an AFFF and creates a µm water layer - non or semi-aspirated application 28

29 29

30 How does a MOUSSOL works? 1. On non-polar Liquids (like diesel, crude oil, gasoline) - works like an AFFF and creates a µm water layer - non or semi-aspirated application 2. On polar solvents (like ethanol, aceton, isopropyl) - low expansion foam for good polymer-layer forming 30

31 Alcohol resistant MOUSSOL polymer film forming - Formation of a polymer layer between polar solvents and foam blanket - only gentle application - Aspirated application with foam expansion ratio bigger 1:4 - monitor application wit non aspirated monitors needs to be checked 31

32 32

33 What is the issue about viskosities? all MOUSSOL-APS products are high viscose that means: - normal inductors work only up to +5 C - for lower product temp a mixing device is recommend - suction lines needs to be bigger in some cases - mixing systems on trucks needs to be checked if they can handle OTHERWISE KEEP IN MIND THAT MOUSSOL-APS LV MIGHT BE AN OPTION! LV are low viscosity products like MOUSSOL-APS LV PREMIUM 3/3 F-15 or MOUSSOL-APS LV PREMIUM 1/3 F

34 Foam expansion ratio and foam devices medium exp high expasion low expansion VZ ~ 800 non-aspirated 34
