A method of proportioning a finished foam at or near a hazard comprising proportioning and delivering a first finished foam to the hazard, determining if the first finished foam extinguishes or suppresses the hazard, if not, selecting an amount of a fluorinated additive, and proportioning a foam solution including the selected amount of the fluorinated additive to form a fluorinated finished foam. A foam injection system is also disclosed.

A method of proportioning a finished foam at or near a hazard comprising proportioning and delivering a first finished foam to the hazard, determining if the first finished foam extinguishes or suppresses the hazard, if not, selecting an amount of a fluorinated additive, and proportioning a foam solution including the selected amount of the fluorinated additive to form a fluorinated finished foam. A foam injection system is also disclosed.

Disclosed is a surfactant mixture including: (i) 50%-99% of C1 which includes, per 100% of its weight: (a) 65%-90% of alkyl glutamate with C7-C17, and (b) 10%-35% of formula R1-C(═O)—OH; and (ii) 1%-50% of C2 which includes, per 100% of its weight: (c) 14-80% of C3, represented by R3-O-(G3)p-H where R3 represents C12-C16, G3 represents the residue of a reducing sugar, and 1.05≤p≤5, (d) 0%-3% of an alcohol R3-OH, (e) 20%-80% of C4, which is represented by R4-O-(G4)q-H where R4 represents C4-C7, G4 represents the residue of a reducing sugar and 1.05≤q≤5, and (f) 0%-3% of an alcohol R4-OH. Also disclosed are a fire-fighting foam liquid and a method for extinguishing a fire.

This application relates to compositions comprising one or more partially fluorinated epoxides and/or one or more perfluorinated epoxides which may be useful in applications including refrigerants, air conditioning, heat transfer media, high-temperature heat pumps, organic Rankine cycles, fire extinguishing/fire suppression, propellants, foam blowing, solvents, dielectrics, and/or cleaning fluids.

A method of proportioning a finished foam at or near a hazard comprising proportioning and delivering a first finished foam to the hazard, determining if the first finished foam extinguishes or suppresses the hazard, if not, selecting an amount of a fluorinated additive, and proportioning a foam solution including the selected amount of the fluorinated additive to form a fluorinated finished foam. A foam injection system is also disclosed.

Methods of abating, extinguishing and/or preventing Class B fires comprising applying a hydrogel comprising a biopolymeric thickening agent and a non-biopolymeric thickening agent to the Class B fire are described.

Provided are fire-fighting foam concentrate compositions incorporating multiple dye indicator agents, fire-fighting foams formed from said compositions, and to methods for evaluating fire-fighting foam concentrates. The compositions are useful as a complex anti-counterfeiting system and also allow for the differentiation of different types of authentic concentrates.

A method of proportioning a finished foam at or near a hazard comprising proportioning and delivering a first finished foam to the hazard, determining if the first finished foam extinguishes or suppresses the hazard, if not, selecting an amount of a fluorinated additive, and proportioning a foam solution including the selected amount of the fluorinated additive to form a fluorinated finished foam. A foam injection system is also disclosed.

Disclosed are fire extinguishants comprising from about 20% to about 80% by weight of 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFO-1233zd) and from about 20% to about 80% by weight of 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone (FK5-1-12), and to methods, systems and containers which use the fire extinguishants.

A fire suppression nozzle assembly includes a spray-type nozzle for spraying a fire suppression fluid. The spray-type nozzle includes a body portion defining a passage extending longitudinally through the body portion for conveying the fire suppression fluid. The spray-type nozzle also includes a deflector portion coupled to the body portion and configured to spray the fire suppression fluid onto a fire suppression target area using a radial spray pattern.
