Foam is created by mixing a gas and a liquid. Depending on the structure and the electrostatic properties of the molecules, different foams can be created with different size, wall thickness and durability.

Foaming agent

A foaming agent is used for the production of extinguishing foam. This is a concentrated mixture of solvents (for stability), additions (for performance), surface-active agents (for film-forming), and, for the most part, water (98%). A foaming agent is mixed with water in percentages between 1% and 6%, depending on the type of foaming agent.

Would you like to know more about extinguishing foams? The Kenbri FOAM-LAB organises knowledge days about extinguishing foam. Depending on your requirement and scope of application, we can answer all your foam-related questions. We can take care of the theory and then prove it by means of practical tests.
