Limits Flame Spread
Helps control the growth of the fire and limit its spread to surrounding combustible surfaces.
Conventional fire suppression methods primarily focus on extinguishing visible flames. 3-F combines fire suppression, rapid cooling and protective action against reignition within the same intervention process.
Purpose of Application
In fire intervention, making the visible flame disappear is not enough. As long as high temperatures remain, the risks of reignition, fire spread to surrounding materials and repeated intervention continue.
3-F is designed to address different stages of the fire simultaneously, supporting a faster, more controlled and more sustainable intervention process.
Helps control the growth of the fire and limit its spread to surrounding combustible surfaces.
Designed to rapidly reduce surface and ambient temperatures following flame suppression.
Helps reduce the risk of renewed combustion through the protective effect formed on the treated surface.
Combining suppression and cooling within the same intervention may reduce the need for additional operations.
Three-Stage Action
The product's action consists of three complementary stages: flame control, rapid cooling and protective barrier formation.
First Action
When applied to the fire zone, the product comes into contact with the burning surface, helps restrict the combustion process and supports bringing the fire under control.
Second Action
As the flames are suppressed, the process also targets the reduction of high surface temperatures. This helps control the heat load that could otherwise contribute to reignition.
Third Action
The protective layer formed on the treated surface helps increase resistance against renewed flame exposure and contributes to reducing the risk of reignition.
The Difference in Intervention
Conventional Approach
However, high temperatures may remain on the surface.
Intervention may need to continue with additional equipment or applications.
Renewed combustion can occur as long as heat and combustible surface conditions remain.
Next-Generation Approach
Initial intervention is performed while limiting the spread of the fire.
Suppression and cooling take place within the same operation.
The treated surface gains additional resistance against reignition.
Application Process
The appropriate product concentration and equipment selection should be determined according to the fire type and application conditions.
Fire class, combustible material, temperature and site conditions are evaluated.
The appropriate concentration is selected according to suppression, cooling or barrier application requirements.
The product is applied to the fire zone or the surface requiring protection using suitable intervention equipment.
Temperature, reignition risk and the protective effect on the treated surface are monitored.
Technical Assessment
Product performance may vary depending on fire class, concentration, intervention equipment, surface characteristics and environmental conditions. A technical assessment should be carried out before application.
