FireAde 2000 Test Data and Comparisons
As a responsible world class company, we realize that lives and property may be at risk in situations where our products are called upon to perform. We have always been and are still progressing a wide variety of scientific product and application tests in order to confirm our development processes.
FireAde 2000 has undergone Underwriter Laboratory testing and is currently UL and ULC Listed and meets or exceeds standards for NFPA-18.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to understand that FireAde 2000 is new technology and, as such, there are limited specific tests established that will assist the fire fighter to make accurate comparisons with traditional products such as AFFF foams.
In order to help illustrate the benefits of FireAde 2000, the following information and links detail the results of a number of independent and internationally recognized tests that will help you put FireAde 2000 into context as a new and highly effective multi-use medium.
FIREADE 2000 COMPARED WITH FOAM PRODUCTS
AFFF Foams and other similar products are challenging the environment in a way that is becoming increasingly unacceptable.
FireAde 2000 suffers from none of the polluting and damaging effects of foam.
FireAde 2000 is significantly faster at putting our fires PERMANENTLY when compared to foam and there is minimal clean-up compared to foam.
Fire-fighters will need to stock less FireAde2000 than foam as it is so much more effective in every practical application. It is cleaner too, far less damaging to the environment and faster and easier to clean up after a fire.
