Salient Features

The one man Trolly mounted Mobile foam unit. Foam is used because water (in most cases) proves ineffective in quenching hydrocarbon liquid based fires in petroleum, chemical and other similar industries.

Unit comes complete with hose, inductor and branch Pipe foam compound optional.
One man operation

Virtually instantaneous operation.
Suitable for any type of foam
Available in various alternative arrangements.

FIRE HOSE PIPE

TYPE A
The hose has the outer lining of predominantly cotton; a natural fibre; which doesnot support combustion. Remains unaffected by flame.
The cotton jacket withstand high temperatures. Hot radiators and hot surfaces has no effect on it.
In India, high quality cotton is widely available, which is not flammable. Punches the imported technology hollw!
In the event of combustion Type A hoses produces no dangerous gases or fumes
Type A hoses are lighter in handling. Smaller coil diameter.
     

TYPE B
The outer / inner lining of PVC Nitrile compound catches fire in mere candle flame! The actual five fighting operation can be highly risky.
 
The lining compound melts at relatively low temperatures. Contract with hot radiators and surfaces can be dangerous.
 
The so called 'imported technology' is merely an expensive alternative to cover the polyester filament with PVC Nitrite blend to protect the polyester jacket in side, which melts at low temperatures.
 
On combustion, the PVC Nitrite compound poduces dangerous nitous gases and fumes. Ibviously a health hazard.
 
The Type B hose are heavier then Type A.
 
Higher coil diameter.
