FIRESORB® - Fire fighting- additive for the fire grade A

FIRESORB® is a fire-fighting device-additive for the firegrade A. The liquid polymer - solution absorbs a multiple amount of its own weight in water and forms an adhesive and heat-shielding gel which contains no air bubbles but consists of evenly thickened water.

FIRESORB® Gel has a very good adhesive quality. It even sticks in thickness up to 10 mm at smooth, vertical surfaces (i.e. windows) or on ceilings.

Because of the chemical-physical qualities of FIRESORB® Gel the evaporation rate of the water is reduced considerably, even at higher temperatures. Thus the water use is reduced.

Admission

FIRESORB® has been tested with regard to the chemical characteristics and the law of physics according to the strict german fire- and environmental regulations and thus has been approved as fire-extinguishing device under the registration number PL 1-98. FIRESORB® is approved as fire-extinguishing device in many countries of the world.

Treatment of environment and disposal

Some parts of FIRESORB® are easily biodegradable. FIRESORB® is classed as water danger level 1. When it gets into the canalisation the local, official regulations are to be heeded. FIRESORB® concentrate should not get into open waterways. Through using FIRESORB® when fighting fires the quantity of contaminated extinguishing water is reduced and thus less of it has to be disposed of. When used as preventive fi re protection FIRESORB® reduces the risk of ecological and economical consequential damage. Thus it serves the environment.
