Phos-Chek First Response Class A Foam Concentrate & Wetting Agent

ITEM #: FIRST RESPONSE PHOS-CHEK

Phos-Chek First Response Class A Foam Concentrate & Wetting Agent

First Response is formulated to make water more effective for firefighting. The unique combination of surfactants significantly reduces water's surface tension and, when mixed with air, creates a foam blanket that surrounds fuels with a thick layer of water. This creates a barrier between the fuel and the fire, knocking down the fire faster than water alone, and allows fire fighters to see the areas of application. Making the water more effective reduces the amount of water needed to extinguish the fire reducing water damage and increases fire fighter safety through quicker knockdown and reduced mop-up/overhaul requirements.

First Response contains NO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, is non corrosive, non-toxic, readily biodegradable, and has no flash point. It does not contain any fluorinated surfactants such as PFOS/PFOA, which are found only in Class B foams.

ICL Fire Safety Class A foam has been tested and have been tested and qualified for use by the USDA Forest Service. First Response is qualified for use in all delivery systems including Canadair and other water scooping aircraft, and fixed-tank helicopters. First Response meets the requirements of NFPA 1150. It is effective for use in Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS).
