SILV-EX Plus Class A Fire Control Concentrate

SILV-EX Plus Class A Fire Control Concentrate is a high-performance firefighting foam designed to combat Class A combustible material fires. It is ideal for structural, wildland, and industrial fires involving wood, paper, coal, rubber, and plastic.

Features

• Effective on Deep-Seated Fires: Suitable for tire fires, paper fires, coal fires, structure fires, and wildfires.
• Enhanced Wetting and Penetration: Reduces the surface tension of water, providing superior wetting and penetration characteristics.
• Dense Foam Blanket: This product creates a dense foam blanket with excellent insulating properties that also clings to vertical surfaces to protect structures.
• Flexible Proportioning: Can be used with proportioning ranges from 0.1% to 1% for Class A firefighting.
• Superior Cold Weather Performance: Formulated from specialty hydrocarbon surfactants, stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors, and solvents.

Benefits

• High-Performance: Approved by the US Forest Service for wildland firefighting.
• Versatile: Broad portfolio of Class A products suitable for municipal, wildland, and CAFS applications.
• Reliable: Expert formulation and tight quality control ensure consistent fire and vapor suppression performance.
• Economical: A low proportioning rate offers an outstanding economy in concentrated storage space, cost, and water hauling requirements.

Fire Extinguishment Mechanisms

• Surface Tension Reduction: Provides superior wetting and penetrating characteristics, making Class A fuels less combustible and allowing the solution to penetrate past the char to control deep-seated fires.
• Extended Drain Time: Provides longer surface wetting, reducing the risk of ignition/re-ignition.
• Foam Blanket: This creates an insulating barrier between the fuel and air.
• Vapor Suppression: Suppresses combustible vapors while cooling the fuel.

Environmental Impact

SILV-EX Plus has a reduced environmental signature and no EPA reportable contents. It does not destroy or retard new forest growth, will not harm fish or wildlife, and is biodegradable in soils, aquatic ecosystems, and sewage treatment facilities.

Usage Instructions

SILV-EX Plus foam concentrate can be proportioned from 0.1% to 1.0% in fresh, brackish, or seawater. If the premix is stored over long periods, only fresh or potable water should be used as a pre-mixed solution.
