Why use Compressed Air Foam ?

Compressed Air Foam (CAF) offers many technical and economic advantages compared to the other types of foam systems available on the market today, including:

• Water and foam concentrate quantities are dramatically reduced;  Design density is reduced at only 25% of the water requirement used by standard sprinkler-foam systems.

• Extinguishing time is dramatically reduced.

• Visibility is greatly improved during fire extinguishment.

• Requires less drainage and water treatment after a fire, dramatically reducing the infrastructure costs associated with conventional foam systems.

• Works equally well on fires in enclosed rooms with total flooding as on large open areas in local application.

• Sustainable alternative to other fire extinguishing technologies.

Go green !  Compressed Air Foam Systems also help you provide an environmentally friendly solution to the challenges of fire protection of flammable liquid hazards.

They may help you achieve LEED points for a project in 5 LEED areas:  water efficiency, energy & atmosphere, materials & resources, indoor environmental quality and innovative design !
