| NFPA 18 ( National Fire Protection Agency Wetting
Agent Test ) FireAde 2000 fully conforms
to the NFPA 18 test for Class A and B fires PRACTICAL
TESTING This simple practical test demonstrates how FireAde
2000 improves the penetrative and wetting qualities of water; thus
enabling it to "work harder" for any given quantity. 10cc of water
was dropped from a fixed position onto paper pulp board. The surface tension of
the board / water interface formed a pool of water approximately 2" (50mm)
square. 3% of FireAde 2000 was also
mixed with water and 10cc of this mixture was also dropped from the same fixed
height onto a similar piece of paper pulp board. Surface tension was much lower
and the mixture, instead of pooling, penetrated the board and wetted an area of
approximately 24" (607mm) square. |
