What is FLAME-FOAM ^® and how does it work?

FLAME-FOAM ^® is an easy-to-use, affordable Class-A foam applicator for pre-treatment during the threat of wildfire or while performing other hazardous activities such as managing burn piles, mowing or weed trimming. 

Class-A foam has been used for decades by professional firefighters.  Class-A foam facilitates wetting of Class-A fuels (wooden structures, shrubs, trees, etc…) by lowering the surface tension of the water and assisting with the water's saturation of the fuels.  The resulting “foamy water” aids in fire suppression by preventing ignition.

The FLAME-FOAM ^® applicator is a revolutionary new way for anyone with a garden hose to produce Class-A “foamy water”, suitable for protecting Class-A fuels. Simply place a foam cartridge in the applicator, attach the applicator to a standard garden hose, and your FLAME-FOAM ^®

Will FLAME-FOAM ^® make a thick pile of foam?

No.  Class-A foam can vary in consistency depending upon it’s intended application. FLAME-FOAM ^® cartridges contain a surfactant which makes Class-A "foamy water" and can make the water up to 5 times "wetter".  Although this is the same type of foaming agent firefighters use to produce a thick shaving cream like foam, the FLAME-FOAM ^® applicator is designed to provide just enough surfactant to make the water “wetter” for pre-treatment applications.

Is FLAME-FOAM ^® environmentally friendly?

Yes, each FLAME-FOAM ^® cartridge is Bio-degradable and non-toxic. However, as with any product, avoid excessive contamination of waterways where fish and aquatic life are present.

What is the shelf life of FLAME-FOAM ^® cartridges?

FLAME-FOAM ^® cartridges are guaranteed for 5 years – always keep them in the supplied zip-lock bag and store in a cool (<85 degrees F) dry place. With proper storage they should last indefinitely.

How much water pressure is needed to operate a FLAME-FOAM ^® applicator?

Since FLAME-FOAM ^® applicators feature a flow-through design they will operate on any available pressure, however, for optimum stream distance we recommend a minimum 30 psi for the 3/4" units and a minimum 75 psi for the Fire Hose units.  At the other end of the spectrum, do not exceed 200 psi to prevent possible damage to the unit or injury to the operator and other nearby personnel.

How many FLAME-FOAM ^® cartridges will I require?

Depending upon the type of system and the flow rate of the nozzle being used, each cartridge will produce from 30 minutes to 1 hour of foamy water up to about 900 gallons of water.  Environmental conditions (wind, temperature, humidity) will vary how long the treated surfaces remain wet and you may need to re-treat some surfaces in order to provide maximum protection to your property.
