ONE SEVEN – PRODUCTS
FOAMING AGENT
HIGHLY EFFECTIVE FORMULA: ONE SEVEN FOAMING AGENT
The exceptional, constant and always reproducible bubble structure of One Seven® foam is the result of a perfect interaction between the chemical properties of One Seven® foaming agent and the One Seven® foam generator. Precisely and reliably adjusted proportioning rates in the systems guarantee an optimal extinguishing and cooling effect of the One Seven® foam. This results in unique extinguishing foams that differ significantly from conventional foam.
All One Seven® foaming agents were developed with the protection of people and the environment in mind. There is no risk of injury even in case of skin or eye contact with One Seven foam®. To protect the environment many One Seven® foaming agents do not use fluorine – without any loss of performance in firefighting.
WITH US AUTOMATICALLY OPTIMAL: THE PROPORTIONING RATE
The optimal proportioning of foaming agents is determined by the proportioning rate. It indicates the percentage of foaming agent which must be contained in the water/foaming agent solution. In the One Seven systems the proportioning rate is preset, automatically monitored during operation and automatically adjusted if necessary.
Less achieves more
The proportioning rate of a foaming agent has an important influence on the operating time of a firefighting engine or a fixed extinguishing system. Therefore One Seven foaming agents are highly concentrated liquids that allow particularly low proportioning rates.
Price is not equal to costs
The proportioning rates of foaming agents are directly related to the actual costs incurred: The lower the proportioning rate, the lower the consumption and the lower the application price. Highly concentrated foaming agents with low proportioning rates also save money in transport costs from the manufacturer, storage and handling due to the smaller quantities required. So: When making purchasing decisions it is important to take not only into account the purchase price but to consider all the costs associated with the foaming agent.
FOAMING AGENT
CLASS A
One Seven® Class A foaming agents have a particularly high penetration power so that the foam moisturizes class A materials quickly and deeply. The temperature inside the fire material is reduced, deep-seated pockets of embers are extinguished. One Seven® class A foaming agents are fluorine-free and quickly biodegradable. The proportioning rates are an extremely economical 0.3 % or 1.0 %.
FOAMING AGENT
CLASS B (FF)
One Seven® foaming agent class B (FF) is the only fluorine- and polymer-free foaming agent on the market with European approval for direct and indirect use (performance class I/B, according to EN 1568-3). It is available in two variants with proportioning rates of 0.5 % and 1.0 %.
FOAMING AGENT
CLASS B (AFFF)
One Seven® foaming agent class B (AFFF) is a water film forming concentrate. The foam spreads rapidly on the surface of burning liquids and forms a strong closed foam carpet. This smothers the fire and suppresses the formation of flammable gases. The proportioning rate is only 0.5 %. The foam concentrate is approved in Europe (performance class I/B, according to EN 1568-3), in the USA (FM 5130) and according to ICAO Level B.
