Overview Features Technical Data FAQs

In cold conditions, water and foam fire extinguishers used outdoors may freeze, rendering them ineffective in the event of a fire. Our LFA (Low Freeze Additive) foam extinguishers are pre-filled with a special additive that enables them to operate reliably in low temperatures.

Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is designed to combat both Class A (solid combustibles) and Class B (flammable liquid) fires. It works by forming a thin aqueous film over the burning liquid, helping to smother the fire and prevent it from spreading. AFFF contains water along with compounds such as ethylene and propylene glycol, making it especially effective against flammable liquid fires.

AFFF foam extinguishers are ideal for situations where water alone is insufficient, particularly for Class B fires, which cannot be extinguished by water. Foam is typically recommended for these types of fires because it is non-toxic, effective at suppressing flames, and does not hinder visibility during use.

This fire extinguisher is certified to BS EN3 by the British Standards Institution (BSI), a standard developed by the European Committee for Standardisation and implemented in the UK by BSI for all fire extinguisher manufacturing.

For harsh marine environments like oil platforms and container ships, MED-approved fire extinguishers have undergone rigorous testing to earn the respected certification mark.

What classification of fire should a foam fire extinguisher be used on?

Similarly to water fire extinguishers, AFFF foam fire extinguishers are designed to combat fires involving combustible solids, such as wood, cloth and paper. However, in addition to Class A fires, the AFFF foam fire extinguisher can be used on Class B flammable liquid fires. AFFF foam works by creating a thin layer between the flame and oxygen.

What colour is a foam fire extinguisher?

The foam fire extinguisher label is cream-coloured with either white or red capitalised text.

What type of business would typically use a foam fire extinguisher?

AFFF foam fire extinguishers are commonly found in garages, factories, offices, warehouses, hospitals and shops. Basically, anywhere a water fire extinguisher would be suitable.

Can foam fire extinguishers be refilled once used?

Even if you've only used a fire extinguisher for a minute or two, it will need recharging. An extinguisher can also require refilling once its contents have aged enough. However, important to note, it's often more economical to replace an entire extinguisher than it is to refill the one you have.

Do your extinguishers come fully serviced and ready to use on delivery?

All our portable fire extinguishers are supplied ready for use, but those with larger capacities may need to be filled and charged prior to the first time they’re used. The product listing will explain this clearly.

How often should fire extinguishers be serviced?

Fire extinguishers must be serviced every 12 months, this is known as the “basic service”. This service should be performed in accordance with British Standard BS5036-3 and conducted by a third-party, appropriately trained technician.

What type of fire extinguisher do I need?

This depends entirely on what you are trying to extinguish, below are some examples of fires you could encounter.

Class A – Solid Combustibles (wood, paper, cloth etc.)
Class A Fire Extinguishers – Water, Water Additive, Dry Powder and Wet Chemical
Class B – Flammable Liquids (oils, solvents, alcohol, gasoline etc.)
Class B Fire Extinguishers – CO2, Dry Powder and Foam
Class C – Flammable Gases (propane, butane, petroleum gases etc)
Class C Fire Extinguishers – Dry Powder
Class D – Flammable Metals (magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, titanium etc.)
Class D Fire Extinguishers –Specialist Dry Powder (M28, MonneX and L2)
Electrical – Electrical Fires
Fire Extinguishers for Electrical Fires – CO2 and Dry Powder
Class F – Flammable Cooking (cooking oils and fats)
Class F Fire Extinguishers – Wet Chemical

How does an AFFF Foam fire extinguisher work?

The foam in the fire extinguisher is Aqueous Film Forming Foam, commonly referred to as AFFF, and creates a layer over combustible liquids, smothering and quenching fires. AFFF works by suffocating or dousing the fire and sealing in any flammable vapours, preventing re-ignition. The foam will put out liquid fires by creating a thin barrier between the surface of the flammable fluid and the flame.
