20-Litre Firefighting Foam Concentrate Chemical Refill

The 20-Litre Firefighting Foam Concentrate Chemical Refill is a bulk extinguishing agent designed for the professional refilling, servicing and maintenance of compatible foam fire extinguishers and firefighting systems. Supplied in a durable, easy-to-handle container, it is suitable for fire safety companies, industrial facilities and organisations that maintain multiple foam-based firefighting units.

When correctly prepared and used through approved firefighting equipment, foam creates a protective blanket over burning materials. This helps cool the fire, reduce contact with oxygen, suppress flammable vapours and lower the possibility of reignition.

The product is primarily intended for Class A and compatible Class B fire risks. The exact application, dilution ratio and equipment compatibility depend on the specific foam formulation supplied and should always be confirmed from the manufacturer’s label or technical data sheet.

Suitable Fire Risks

When used in compatible and properly serviced firefighting equipment, the foam chemical may be suitable for:

• Class A fires involving wood, paper, cardboard, textiles and similar combustible materials
• Class B fires involving compatible flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, paint, solvents and selected petroleum products
• Cooling solid combustible materials
• Forming a foam blanket over compatible liquid-fuel surfaces
• Helping suppress flammable vapours and reduce the risk of reignition
