Condensed foam; ready-to-use and called foam extract, is imported with certifications of UL Listed Ex6015, ICAO, Lloyd’s Register, LastFire Test, UK Defense and EN 1568 as a synthetic or protein-based from Swedish company FOMTEC, which we are representative of.

The selection of foam concentrates is the suppression agent of the foam system and is selected according to the hazard class of the products in the protected volumes, the foaming equipment and the NFPA 11 rules. The design of the foam system is based on what type of flammable, combustible chemical it is, where it is stored, on what conditions, and what kind of process it will take.

Usually used at 3% or 6% mixing. However, some foam extracts (such as those used in forest fires) are used between 0.1% and 0.5%. Foam extracts are classified according to below expansion rates:

• Low expansion (Heavy Foam) – expansion ratio 1/1 – 20/1
• Medium Expansion (Medium Foam) – expansion ratio 20/1 – 200/1
• High Expansion (Light Foam) – expansion ratio 200/1 – 800/1

As long as the original packaging does not open, does not expose to air, and remains in defined storage conditions, a 10-year shelf-life guarantee is given for protein-based foam concentrates and a 15-year shelf life for synthetic-based ones. They are delivered in plastic packages of 25 liters and 200 liters or in IBC packages of 1.000 liters.
