Will different styles of solvent foam extinguishing agents differ in fire extinguishing problems?

Jan 30, 2023

First of all, we should know that a fire extinguishing agent is a substance that can effectively destroy the combustion conditions in the burning area, suppress combustion or stop combustion. Any extinguishing agent that is miscible with water and produces extinguishing foam by chemical reaction or mechanical method is called a foam extinguishing agent.

In addition to the performance of general foam fire extinguishing agent, the soluble foam fire extinguishing agent can also quickly extinguish the fire of combustible solvents such as alcohol, ester, ether, ketone, aldehyde, etc., and is a multi-functional foam fire extinguishing agent. At present, foam fire extinguishing agents on the market are generally composed of foaming agents, foam stabilizers, viscosity reducers, antifreezes, co-solvents, preservatives and water.

Generally speaking, we have some basic requirements for fire extinguishing agents, such as high efficiency, easy to use, basically harmless to human bodies and objects, low cost, etc. At present, commonly used fire extinguishing agents include water, foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder, halogenated alkanes, etc. Different types of fire extinguishing agents have different properties. If used blindly, it may lead to the opposite result and greater loss.

Therefore, firefighters will correctly select firefighters according to material properties, state, burning time, wind direction, wind power and other factors to ensure the supply intensity and give full play to the efficiency of fire extinguishing agents.

In addition, when choosing foam fire extinguishing agent, you should choose a higher technical level, strong research and development ability, strong manufacturing research and development ability, good manufacturing technology, high reputation and good service. Choosing high-quality, high-level, strong or successful procurement logistics, as well as installation, commissioning and maintenance, will be superior to the procurement experience brought by ordinary brands.
