  2. Firefighting foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefighting_foam

    High-expansion foams have an expansion ratio over 200–1000 and are suitable for enclosed spaces such as hangars, where quick filling is needed. Alcohol-resistant foams contain a polymer that forms a protective layer between the burning surface and the foam, preventing foam breakdown by alcohols in the burning fuel.

  3. 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]
