foamCompatible- Attribute
- FET Fire Extinguishing Agent Type
- Definition
- A sodium bicarbonate-based dry chemical that was developed for use with protein foams for fighting flammable liquid and gas fires.
- Description
- Most dry chemicals contain metal stearates to waterproof them, but these will tend to destroy the foam blanket created by protein (animal) based foams. Foam-compatible extinguishing materials use silicone as a waterproofing agent, which does not harm foam
