Chubb offers a comprehensive range of Angus Fire firefighting foam and BioCentral water enhancing products and services to help control and extinguish hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires.
The new range of Angus Fire Integrity foams incorporate both fluorine free and fluorinated foams, which contain only pure C6 fluorosurfactants.
Chubb Fire proudly supply Angus Fire fluorine free foam to emergency services and industry. Angus fire fluorine free foam has been designed for maximum firefighting performance and carries a range of approvals suited to many applications.
Angus Fire Respondol ATF 3-3 and 3-6
Respondol ATF is a superior quality synthetic fluorine free (FF) foam concentrate, designed for extinguishing and securing all types of flammable liquid fires and Class A incidents. Respondol ATF has been designed specifically for general emergency responders who are faced with a variety of risks in a range of situations.
Respondol® is a registered trademark of Angus Holdings Safety Group Ltd.
Angus Fire Jetfoam
JetFoam is the world’s first film forming, fluorine free (FF) foam high performance foam concentrate, designed for extinguishing and securing flammable aviation fuel spills and fires (Jet A and Jet A1).
Class A fires (wood, paper, timber, etc) are extinguished by wetting the combustible material. This also prevents re-ignition. Foams that reduce the surface tension of water to increase penetrating power are best suited for Class A fires.
Forexpan is a synthetic fire fighting foam concentrate specially formulated for Class A applications such as forestry and wildland fire control, structural fires and tyre and paper fires.
The balanced chemical system in Forexpan reduces the surface tension of water to increase the penetrating power into burning Class A materials.
High expansion foams are ideal to use at medium expansion at minor incidents such as small hydrocarbon liquid spill fires where close approach to the fire allows hand-held apparatus to be used. They can also be used in conjunction with fixed installations to provide bund protection, where it can achieve extinction of fires or suppression of toxic vapour release after chemical spillage.
Expandol is a superior quality high expansion fire fighting foam concentrate for extinguishing and securing flammable hydrocarbon liquid fires. Expandol produces large-volumes of high expansion foam for use in total flooding applications, marine fire fighting and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) applications.
Trainol 6 is a fluorine free foam concentrates for 6% usage, which has been specially formulated to provide a unique training foam with a synthetic base material but no fluorosurfactants. Trainol mimics the performance of Angus Tridol S AFFF, the aviation industry standard for fire fighting foams, to provide realistic fire training without the use of fluorinated chemicals.
Trainol 6
Trainol 6 is a fluorosurfactant free training foam which mimics the application and physical properties of Angus Tridol C6 S AFFF 6% fire fighting foam.
Trainol 6 should be used in training through conventional foam induction and delivery equipment (such as the Angus Hi-Combat range of portable foam equipment). It is not recommended for real life fire fighting incidents.
BLAZETAMER380™ from BioCentral Laboratories is proudly represented by Chubb. It represents the latest in water enhancer technology and has been tried and tested in various places around the world and has numerous approvals.
BLAZETAMER380™ water enhancer
BLAZETAMER380™ is a water enhancer used for increasing the efficiency of water for the purpose of Class A Fire Suppression.
In diluted mixture for fire fighting applications BLAZETAMER380™ delivers significantly superior fire extinguishing performance characteristics, resulting in substantially less water use and a reduction in the time required to extinguish the fire. BLAZETAMER380™ requires no clean-up and trials have resulted in greatly reduced instances of re-ignition.
Using BLAZETAMER380™ the fire fighter takes the offensive approach to attack the fire, minimizing the fire effects in the wildland/urban interface. The unique properties of BLAZETAMER380™ provide an excellent medium, which can be created using backpacks and all handlines. This ground application is particularly useful in building a fire line, and for direct attack, prescribed burning and mop-up operations.
BLAZETAMER380™ is especially beneficial for any type of air attack, including helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. It is well suited to provide accurate and reduced drop zone footprint by reducing drift caused by strong winds by up to 71%.
BLAZETAMER380™ solution dropped from aircraft or helicopters will assist in controlling fire spread and greatly reduce the amount of time required and water used to successfully attack the fire. The unique formulation of BLAZETAMER380™ creates an excellent fire break by penetrating Class A materials to increase the moisture content of the fuel, thus inhibiting ignition.
Ideally suited to aerial and ground application for wildfire fighting and structural fire fighting, BLAZETAMER380™ has also been proven to be very effective in the suppression of Class A, Class B and Class F fires.
Developed and successfully tested in wildfire conditions, new BLAZETAMER380™ concentrate uses up to 35% less water to extinguish fires. BLAZETAMER380™ guarantees safe handling for fire fighters and is proven harmless to humans, animals and vegetation. BLAZETAMER380™ is not a gel or a foam and it is totally noncorrosive.
Features
BLAZETAMER380™ delivers laminar flow. Laminar flow, the opposite of turbulent flow, occurs with water at higher velocities.
