2. Fireproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireproofing

   Damaged spray fireproofing. Fireproofing is rendering something (structures, materials, etc.) resistant to fire, or incombustible; or material for use in making anything fire-proof. [1] It is a passive fire protection measure. "Fireproof" or "fireproofing" can be used as a noun, verb or adjective; it may be hyphenated ("fire-proof").

3. Compressed air foam system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_foam_system

   A compressed air foam system is defined as a standard water pumping system that has an entry point where compressed air can be added to a foam solution to generate foam. The air compressor also provides energy , which, gallon for gallon, propels compressed air foam rather than aspirated or standard water nozzles .

4. Firefighting foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefighting_foam

   Firefighting foam is a foam used for fire suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, thus achieving suppression of the combustion. Firefighting foam was invented by the Moldovan engineer and chemist Aleksandr Loran in 1902. [1] The surfactants used must produce foam in concentrations of ...

5. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes ...

6. List of fire-retardant materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fire-retardant...

   Fire-retardant materials should not be confused with fire-resistant materials. A fire resistant material is one which is designed to resist burning and withstand heat. An example of a fire-resistant material is one which is used in bunker gear worn by firefighters to protect them from the flames of a burning building.

7. Starlite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlite

   White sands test sample, owned by Thermashield, LLC. Starlite is an intumescent material said to be able to withstand and insulate from extreme heat. It was invented by British hairdresser and amateur chemist Maurice Ward (1933–2011) during the 1970s and 1980s, and received significant publicity after coverage of the material aired in 1990 on the BBC science and technology show Tomorrow's ...

8. Fire retardant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_retardant

   Class A foam is used as a fire retardant in 2.5 gallon [APW] and [CAFS] extinguishers to contain incipient brush fires and grass fires by creating a fire break. Other chemical retardants are capable of rendering class A material and Class B fuels non-flammable and extinguishing class A, class B, and some class D fires.

9. Intumescent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intumescent

   These intumescent materials produce a light char which is a poor conductor of heat, thus retarding heat transfer.Typically the light char consists of microporous carbonaceous foam formed by a chemical reaction of three main components: ammonium polyphosphate, pentaerythritol, and melamine. [2]
