COMPARISONS with FOAM PRODUCTS CHARACTERISTICS
AFFF Foams and other similar products are challenging the environment in a way that is becoming increasingly unacceptable.

FireAde 2000 suffers from none of the polluting and damaging effects of foam.

FireAde 2000 is significantly faster at putting our fires PERMANENTLY when compared to foam and there is minimal clean-up compared to foam.

Fire-fighters will need to stock less FireAde 2000 than foam as it is so much more effective in every practical application. It is cleaner too, far less damaging to the environment and faster and easier to clean up after a fire.

See the Comparison Table below for graphically obvious examples of how much better FireAde 2000 is than conventional foams.
