|
Water has been accepted for many years as the most practical fire extinguishing agent because of its almost universal availability, its great heat absorption capacity and because it is liquid. |
|
Experiences, as well as tests, have indicated that the addition of a proper wetting agent to water, when properly applied,
will increase the extinguishing efficiency of that water with respect to qunantity used as well as time saved. |
|
Wetting agents have foaming characterstics as refered in NFPA-18 standards.
When mixed with water and air, produce a foam that retains the wetting and penetrating characterstics of the wetting agent and provides an efficient smothering action for the extinguishments of both Class A and Class B combustibles or provides a fluid insulation for protection against fire exposure. |
