What makes a great fire fighting foam?
(parts i-iv)






WHAT MAKES A GREAT FIRE FIGHTING FOAM?
Part i the BUBBLE.

Conventional fire fighting foam solutions are aerated with available, breathable, combustible air. While bubble generation is enhanced with the induction of this air, fresh oxygen is also made available to the fire in every bubble. Protect-o-Burn's patented Self Expanding Fire Fighting Foam (SEFFF) technology by contrast is built on bubbles filled with innerting gasses.
Every bubble that bursts is just as potent as the foam that formed it, giving you unmatched cooling and smothering, in a consistent, high quality fire fighting medium your installed sites can depend on.
Leave a lasting legacy of good engineering for tomorrow by installing tomorrow's foam, today.

Part ii the MOLECULE.

A tightly bonded foam solution is key to obtaining a consistent quality end-product that is a durable film-forming layer with which to successfully STOP a fire. A poorly bonded or inconsistently mixed foam solution will result in a delayed fire control. Further dangers include but are not limited to:
- Oil boilovers with super-heated steam
- Fires burning for days
and with every passing hour, there is an increase in your personnel's exposure to risk.

Protect-o-Burn's fire fighting foam has been demonstrated to remain consistently bonded with the water molecules creating a milky solution which stays bonded, irrespective of how long it is kept in storage.
Having the Protect-o-Burn logo displayed on a vessel of fire fighting equipment on your site, is your lifelong guarantee that you will always obtain consistently quality, and unmatched film-forming performance, from the first drop to the very last of our...patented Self Expanding Fire Fighting Foam (SEFFF) technology.

Part iii the ENERGY.

It's here where trying to make comparisons between traditional fire fighting foam technology, and Protect-o-Burn's patented Self Expanding Fire Fighting Foam (SEFFF) technology, all break down completely.

SEFFF operates with stored pressurised gaseous energy. This causes the foam to exhibit properties that are a step-change upgrade for the fire fighting industry, rather than another slow and steady improvement. For example:
Industrial size and quality fire fighting capability is now available for rooftop fire protection at any height, in any location, at any temperature.
Currently, Protect-o-Burn South Africa is installing ground-breaking fire fighting foam technology on moving conveyor belts, on top of silos, on stackers and reclaimers, and in numerous other mining applications that were traditionally extremely hard to protect. The exact same technology also makes it possible to have industrial pumper-grade, flame knockdown energy on the back of a pickup truck. There is no traditional fire fighting technology available on the market today that SEFFF can be compared to, when it comes to the energy in every bubble of Protect-o-Burn fire fighting foam.

Part iv the COOLING.

Protect-o-Burn's patented Self Expanding Fire Fighting Foam (SEFFF) technology introduces an enhanced cooling property to fire fighting, as was independently witnessed at Louisiana State University fire research and training grounds in 2019.

In a comparative test of our SEFFF versus the university's resident fire pumper, a simulation fuel tank was extinguished by the 2 contending technologies, and results recorded and verified.
Not only did SEFFF extinguish the same fuel substrate in the same ambient conditions, but it did it in less than a quarter of the time it took the pumper and crew, while reaching a final temperature 20°F below ambient.
For unmatched smothering and cooling ability, with industrial flame knockdown capability and guaranteed consistency for life, SEFFF has no equal.

Going - and - Doing... what no other extinguishing medium can do.
