Application Notes
US/European Class A Fires
Class A fires are the most common type of fire occurring 97% of the time. This occurs when an organic solid material becomes sufficiently hot and has oxygen available, causing combustion.
Wood, Grass, Coal, Tires, Hay, Cotton, Cardboard, Initial Knockdown:
0.10% up to 0.50%
Cars, Trucks, Heavy Equipment:
0.50% up to 1.0%
Note: Set Class A foam system defaults at 0.25% or maximum 0.50%. FireAde® will operate in CAF systems but may require adjustments to maximize foaming at low percentages.
Reminder: FireAde® works better with minimal or no foam, compared to traditional Class A foam with heavy or thick foam in all aspects.
