The extinguishing effectiveness of the Foamtech HX generator (FCH*-250) is achieved via a combination of the following:

  • Free air movement essential for continued combustion is reduced.
  • Transition to steam of the water content of the foam solution dilutes the oxygen concentration, achieving a level below which combustion cannot be supported.
  • Reduced surface tension of the foam solution draining from the expanded foam penetrates the Class A materials, extinguishing deep-seated fires.
  • Foam solution lowers the temperature below the combustion point or auto-ignition temperature of Class A and B fuels.
  • The insulating and heat-reflecting properties of the foam blanket provide a heat shield preventing fire spread and extinguishes deep-seated fires.
