FireAde 2000
FireAde 2000 is the World's most complete firefighting agent ever produced. FireAde 2000 combines technologies that historically are not compatible in firefighting foam chemistry. It provides new technology that offers increased safety for firefighters. It extinguishes fire at various levels with a large degree of efficiency. This innovative break through is changing the firefighting foam agent industry.
FireAde 2000's uniqueness provides dimensions to firefighting that have never been seen before. Historically, Class A, Class B, and Wetting Agent products have been incompatible with firefighting foam agent chemistry. The current manufacturers have developed 10-15 different types of products to combat Class A and Class B fires. This many choices become very complex when choosing a firefighting agent. It is known that manufacturers send company representatives to sell the "foam agent of the month".
FireAde 2000 eliminates the complexity of choosing the right firefighting foam agent. FireAde 2000 has always been suitable for Class A and Class B firefighting. Now, FireAde 2000 has UL Listings that solidifies this designation. FireAde 2000 has successfully completed the Wetting Agent/NFPA 18-2006 testing. FireAde 2000 is also UL Listed as a "Foam Liquid Concentrate" having complied with the UL 162 testing. This accomplishment with dual UL Listings confirms that FireAde 2000 is a "true" Class A and Class B product.
FireAde 2000 is the FIRST firefighting foam agent that is a "true" Class A, Class B, and Wetting Agent. It is also environmentally safe, non-corrosive, non-toxic, and bio-degradable. FireAde 2000 features provide the most cost effective way to extinguish fires.
FireAde 2000 vs. Fire Tetrahedron
The fire tetrahedron consists of four(4) categories; (a) Oxygen, (b) Heat, (c) Fuel, (d) Chain Reaction/Free radicals. The science behind firefighting has educated us that the elimination of one category will successfully extinguish fire.
Historically, firefighting foam agents eliminate one maybe two categories of the fire tetrahedron. This has traditionally worked for firefighters but with a low level of efficiency. The ability to attach all categories of the fire tetrahedron profoundly increases the level of efficiency. This high level of efficiency equates to large department savings.
FireAde 2000 successfully and effectively eliminates ALL categories of the fire tetrahedron. This effectiveness changes firefighting foam agent's traditional low level of efficiency. The extremely high rate of efficiency FireAde 2000 brings to a department saves large amounts money in the short and long term.
FireAde 2000 elimination of OXYGEN:
FireAde 2000 produces foam with a tight bubble structure that allows for a thick aqueous membrane that accelerates extinguishment on flammable liquids. This tight structure also provides a superior vapor barrier between the fuel and foam. The superior vapor barrier also ensures the integrity of the foam blanket for a long lasting blanket. As a result, FireAde 2000's drainage time into the fuel is drastically reduced by 75%. (Note this applies to most hydrocarbon fuels).
FireAde 2000 elimination of HEAT:
FireAde 2000 achieves a rapid reduction of heat by creating a temperature gradient caused by latent heat of evaporation and simple volume cooling. FireAde 2000 creates a chemical reaction with water that reduces surface tension from 72-dynes/cm2 to 22-26-dynes/cm2. (Note: range depends on water quality and type) This reduction in surface tension equates to water being 20 times wetter. FireAde 2000 by its nature of increasing relative wetted area and by the higher latent heat of evaporation value compared with that of traditional products, has a dramatic cooling effect on fuels and combustibles.
FireAde 2000 elimination of FUEL:
FireAde 2000's ability to separate the fuel molecules adds an additional protection to flammable liquid extinguishment. The fuel separation is created by a chemical reaction with hydrocarbon molecules. The chemical reaction changes the positive charge of the molecule to a negative charge creating separation of the hydrocarbon chain. This separation eliminates the chance of re-ignition. This chemical reaction does not apply for traditional firefighting mediums. This process will release over time to allow for proper clean up.
FireAde 2000 elimination of CHAIN REACTION/FREE RADICALS:
FireAde 2000 interrupts the free radical chain reaction by absorbing the energy and heat created by uncharged molecular fragments colliding with other molecules. This interruption prevents the molecules from coalescing, which creates fewer toxins. The dense and toxic black smoke rapidly changes to cleaner white smoke with proportionally higher water vapor content. This water vapor content indicates the removal of dangerous toxins and improved air quality.
FireAde 2000 unique ability to eliminate ALL categories of the fire tetrahedron extinguishes fires with an extremely high level of efficiency. This uniqueness is the secret to the success of FireAde 2000. This is the reason FireAde 2000 works so effectively on fire extinguishment. Remember, firefighting foam agents were developed to increase the effectiveness to extinguish fires. FireAde 2000 surpasses all expectations of a firefighting foam agent. Don't fight fires, extinguishment with FireAde 2000.
