Class A & B Fire Protection Made Easy with Air Foam Fire Extinguishers

We’re proud to offer reliable, efficient, and compliant fire suppression solutions to protect lives and property. One of our most trusted products is the Air Foam Fire Extinguisher—a highly effective fire-fighting tool ideal for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

What Is an Air Foam Fire Extinguisher?

An Air Foam Fire Extinguisher, also known as an AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) extinguisher, uses a combination of water and a special foam concentrate to suppress fires. This extinguisher is particularly effective on Class A fires (involving solids such as paper, wood, and textiles) and Class B fires (involving flammable liquids like petrol, oil, and paints).

When discharged, the foam creates a thick blanket that cools the fire and forms a barrier between the fuel and the air, helping to prevent re-ignition. This dual-action mechanism makes air foam extinguishers a preferred option in many fire risk environments.

How Air Foam Extinguishers Work

At FireFX, we design our Air Foam Extinguishers with efficiency in mind. Here’s how the process works:

Release and Coverage:

When activated, the extinguisher sprays a fine foam over the burning material. This foam expands and spreads quickly, covering the fire area thoroughly.

Cooling Effect:

The water content in the foam cools the burning material and helps reduce the temperature of the surrounding surfaces.

Smothering Effect:

The foam forms a film that cuts off the oxygen supply, smothering the fire and reducing the chances of reignition.

This combination of cooling and smothering makes air foam a powerful fire suppression agent.

Where Are Air Foam Fire Extinguishers Used?

At FireFX, we supply air foam fire extinguishers to a variety of industries and facilities. Common applications include:

Offices and Commercial Buildings – Effective against solid materials and flammable liquid spills.
Garages and Workshops – Ideal for areas with fuels, oils, and lubricants.
Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities – Protect equipment and inventory from fire-related losses.
Hotels and Hospitality – Ensure guest and staff safety with quick-acting suppression tools.
Educational Institutions – Meets regulatory standards for safety in classrooms and labs.

Air Foam Fire Extinguishers are not suitable for use on electrical fires (Class C) or metal fires (Class D). For those fire types, FireFX offers CO₂, dry chemical, and other specialized extinguishers.Key Features of FireFX Air Foam Fire Extinguishers
