US Foam Class A Foam

Fire containment has never been so easy. Or foamy.

Product:

First Strike Class A Foam is a synthetic fire fighting foam concentrate specifically formulated for all Class A applications such as structural fires, forestry and wild land fires, landfill fires, and tire fires. The special chemical balance in First Strike reduces the surface tension of water, greatly increasing the penetrating and wetting abilities of the water, thus making your water supply five times more effective than untreated water. First Strike's superior foaming ability allows firefighters to protect exposures for extended periods or lay down fire breaks in wild land fire situations. First Strike is biodegradable, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and not harmful to the environment.

Four different Class A foams are available: First Strike Class A Foam, Wetting Agent, Super High Expansion Foam, and C-MFFF.
