Expandol

Expandol

Expandol is a superior quality high expansion firefighting foam concentrate for extinguishing and securing flammable hydrocarbon liquid fires. Expandol produces large-volumes of high expansion foam for use in total flooding applications, marine fire fighting and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) applications.

Benefits:

• A superior quality high expansion firefighting foam concentrate for extinguishing and securing flammable hydrocarbon liquid fires

• Use at medium and high expansion to combat Class A and Class B fires

• Use at 3% (high expansion) to 3-6% (medium expansion)

• Suitable for use with fresh and sea water

• Used at medium and high expansion combats fires in three ways

• Biodegradable and is nontoxic to aquatic organisms at normal use strength

Approvals & Listings

• EN1568:2008 parts 1 & 2

Application

Suitable for high-risk situations:

• Ideal foam to use at medium expansion at minor incidents such as small hydrocarbon liquid spill fires where close approach to the fire allows hand-held apparatus to be used.

• Used in conjunction with fixed installations to provide bund protection, where it can achieve extinction of fires or suppression of toxic vapour release after chemical spillage.

• Medium and high expansion - Used for the total flooding of fire areas involving Class A and Class B fires: medium expansion for small areas such as cellars and basements of buildings, and high expansion for large areas such as ships’ holds, machinery spaces, and LNG storage tank bunds.

• Medium and high expansion foams are most effective when dealing with outbreaks of fire in inaccessible locations, where direct application of conventional agents such as water is difficult or impossible due to smoke or restricted access.
