CHEMGUARD - CLASS A PLUS

Chemguard® Class A Plus Foam Concentrate is a premium, low-, medium-, and high-expansion fire control agent designed to tackle the toughest Class A fuel fires. Formulated with specialty hydrocarbon surfactants, stabilizers, and solvents, this innovative concentrate delivers exceptional wetting, penetration, and foam-blanketing properties to combat deep-seated fires involving wood, paper, coal, rubber, and more.

With an ultra-low proportioning rate (0.1% to 1.0%) in fresh, brackish, or seawater, Class A Plus offers outstanding economy in storage, transport, and usage. For example, just 5 gallons of concentrate produces up to 5,000 gallons of finished foam solution at 0.1% concentration—making it one of the most efficient and cost-effective agents in its class.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Fire Control Performance – Reduces water’s surface tension for improved wetting and penetration, allowing faster suppression of deep-seated Class A fires.

• Extended Protection – Creates a dense foam blanket with prolonged drain time to reduce re-ignition risks.

• Enhanced Safety & Visibility – Produces a brilliant white foam that reflects heat and clings to vertical surfaces for added protection.

• Versatile Application – Compatible with aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices, Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS), and rotary-wing aircraft drops.

• Cost-Efficient Concentrate – Ultra-low proportioning rates minimize storage, transport, and operational costs compared to traditional 3% and 6% agents.
