Heat Reduction Characteristics Compared with AFFF Foam
This test demonstrates the marked difference between the cooling efficiency of FireAde 2000 vs. foam.
The test sample was 2 pieces of 3" diameter x 1/4 " steel bar. One held in a steady flow of foam and the other held in a steady flow of FireAde 2000 . The starting temperature was over 1112 degrees F / 600 degrees C and the test period was 60 seconds.
Almost instantly (1 second) FireAde 2000 cooled the test piece to a temperature not likely to cause re-ignition and to a temperature that enabled safe handling and clean-up. The foam cooled the test piece at a far slower rate and significantly more foam over a greater period of time would have been required to match the low temperatures achieved by FireAde 2000
