Expandol LT
Expandol LT
Expandol LT is a superior quality high expansion fire fighting foam concentrate for extinguishing and securing flammable hydrocarbon liquid fires.
Expandol LT is a Hi Expansion foam ideal 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. Hi Expansiom foams can also be 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
Benefits:
Use at medium and high expansion to combat Class A and Class B fire
Ideal to use at medium expansion at minor incidents. Medium and high expansion for inaccessible locations
Use at 3% (high expansion) to 3-6% (medium expansion)
Suitable for use with fresh and sea water
Approvals & Listings
The fire performance of Expandol LT is measured primarily against Lloyds Register NFPA 11A.
Expandol LT is approved.
Application
Suitable for use in the following:
Ideal foam to use at medium expansion at minor incidents such as small hydrocarbon liquid spill fires where close approach to the fire allows handheld 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.
At 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
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.
